Dr Grabow Meerschaum Lined Bent Bulldog Estate Briar Pipe [SOLD OUT]

Description

Dr Grabow might just be the quintessential American working man’s pipe. Created in 1932 by Linkman & Co., the Dr Grabow name soon became a staple in the American pipe world, being still produced today and enjoyed by novices and veterans alike.

Here’s something you don’t see every day – a meerschaum-lined Dr Grabow. This one was made in Italy, which explains the overall design. It’s a nice bent bulldog, but a little taller than the usual English-French style, as well as having a sharper angle to the bend. It reminds me a little of Savinelli’s older bulldog shapes. The partial rustication on the top of the bowl is an interesting last touch.

The pipe is in great condition. There’s a tiny nick on the vulcanite stem, but it’s so small as to be insignificant. There are no other abrasions or dents. The meerschaum lining of the bowl has held up remarkably well, too. I’d say it’s ready for many more decades of use as someone’s faithful workhorse.
