What's your oldest pipe

[denholrl]

As you have probably guessed I love old pipes. They make me feel something I don't get with a new one. Don't get me wrong. I have two new pipes I'm lusting over, but not yet. They require disposable income . Well truth be told so do the old ones.

So as the title says...What's your oldest pipe (pictures please) and tell us it's story. Any little tid bits that you can recall. How you came about owning it. What do you smoke in it and when do you smoke it.
I'll grab mine out of the gun safe tomorrow and post a picture.
I can't wait for this thread to start posting.

Since you're into old pipes you'll probably enjoy Ben Rapaport's newest book "The Wide World of Wood Tobacco Pipes," copywrite 2024 . . . 300+ pages and hundreds of beautifully photographed pipes. You can get it directly from Ben at [email protected].

This Ulmer could have been made any time during the 18th or 19th centuries. No hallmark . . . cannot date exactly. I don't smoke it but it has been a beautiful addition to my pipe collection.
