[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 607260, member: 1211"] That's good news. If I was taking Vegas odds, I'd go with that is owner preference and not original, but I could lose too. It's just not ever seen, at least from my memory, on basic Business pipes. Maybe in the Super Mustache line you might find some metalwork, but at that level, it wouldn't be a standard shape # either. They loved to gild the lily at the upper grades. Again, I could be wrong, and you could have a unique pipe on your hands. You can date them by shape of the mustache and by the city dating. That looks to be post Ascorti/Radice stamping era. There was a different city dating stamp (not a different city, but a different font and format) directly after that era, and yours is after that. circa 1970 of 1971? I should have this stuff memorized, but I'm terrible with dates and names. I could never be a historian. I can't even read Greek philosophy because my brain scrambles all the names. Takes me an hour to read two pages. I digress. That pipe was obviously a favorite, or at least a great smoker for them, by the patina. Nice score. I happen to love their billiard interpretation with the tapered bowl. [/QUOTE]
