USA There was a variety of Westminster pipes produced on both sides of the Atlantic, but the stamping “Foreign made” tells it’s rather an American product, thus the list of possible manufacturers includes James B. Hall, Westminster NYC, L&H Sterns – we can’t say for sure. Just a compact, nice, moderately smoked and affordable American…

USA, 1930s The pipe comes to us with the 1930s collection, so it’s probably one of the early Marxmans – the company has been founded in 1934 by Robert (Bob) L.

USA, 1930s An Americam pipe from a pre WWII pipe collection. It reminds some Ehrlich pipes, but the stamping font is a bit different. Despite the respectable age, it’s still a good device to test new tobacco or smoke while you’re hunting, fishing, walking – whatever you prefer to do.
