USA, 1950s
An American classics from 1950s, the era of rock’n’roll, big beautiful cars with loud radio receivers (is the series name a hint on the Oldsmobile Strafire? :-) ) and blossoming of many American pipe brands. Nevertheless, this Dr. Grabow’s Starfire with its wire carved finish can’t be confused with any other pipe from that time.
The pipe markings are “STARFIRE \ Dr. Grabow \ IMPORTED BRIAR”. The length is 12.3 cm (4.84″), bowl’s height is 4.7 cm (1.85″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.8 cm (1.5″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weights 46 gr. Briar, plastic stem, no filter.
