No luck, I'm afraid. It's from 1938 (the hallmarks tell the story), and a 9.5 condition-wise. Rare to begin with---few were made---and even rarer to have survived.

It just passed through the shop, though, and the owner loves it. One of his collection's crown jewels.

He found it mixed in with a batch of lesser pieces---all of them grungy---and paid something like a hundred bucks for the lot, proving that Good Stuff is still in the wild.

Another gorgeous GBD, and one I wouldn't mind owning. Odd that it's so difficult to find a manufacturer still producing this attractive shape.

One of my all time favourite pipes.
My ex gave it to me after graduating High School

Here's an old Smokers Haven ad that describes a classic (IMHO) rho.
