Palm PIpe 2

Palm Pipe 2

England

One of the mysterious pipes with the palm (hand) logo on the stem (it still visible on this pipe, but it’s a bit faded already). Our investigation brought us to the McGahey tobacconist in Exeter, UK. Some of such “palm” pipes were created or repaired by their carver and stamped with this logo. Unfortunately we still don’t know the name of this talented master.

The length is 13.4 cm (5.28″), bowl’s height is 4.9 cm (1.93″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.54″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.9″). The depth is 3.8 cm (1.5″) and this pipe weights 47 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.
