    Has anyone heard of this pipemaker/brand?

    The Pipe was likely to be made by Chacom since com is France and shape 291 is their Billard number. Marbury may have been a Tobacconist they made pipes for?

    OK; so I lied

    My for-sure-honest-to-God-Last any pipe I was on a good run of window shopping on the bay for a time, till a swan neck showed up yesterday morning. Then this morning I happened upon a pipe lot. Hopefully they will all clean up well.

    I know I belong to a bygone world because…

    I still go to my local libraries to get books to read and rent movie dvd's. The books I take pictures of each page with my phone and read them when it gets slow at work. I smile when everone else is watching videos on their phone and I'm reading a book. I like to rent the dvd's because it...
