Description:

Cellofaan zakje waarin een imitatie bruyèrepijp en lichtblauwe bijsluiter met "PIPE LORE" en wervingstekst voor de "ARISTOCRAT PIPE". Houtmodel pijp van klei met zadelsteel en afgeplatte spits met knoop. Geheel bedekt met donkerbruine lak. Zakje aan de bovenzijde dichtgeniet. Tekst: "Pipe Lore. The Aristocrat Pipe absorbs nicotine. After a few weeks of use scrape round the inside of bowl to the clay. Blow or wire bore clear and set aside. Repetition of this, using two pipes in turn, assures a sweet smoking. A small cinder the size of a garden pea, at the bottom of bowl before filling up keeps any pipe clean. The Aristocrat is a sturdy pipe but avoid knocking bowl harsly. Simply scrape with pocket knife. A strong tobacco is sweet in the Aristocrat pipe.".
