Comments
| Afgebeeld in Pipe, the worldwide pipe smoker's magazine, vol 9, 1999, Famous Pipes, Pipes Célèbres, Pipas Famosas, Pipe, Vol. 9 - I, 1997, p 50. Dit exemplaar. Colonial remnants in Jamestown inspired a pipemaker to create this square-bowled pipe. One of the oldest souvenir pipes, it was made in 1907 to celebrate the tricentennial of Jamestown, which was the first permanent English settlement in America as well as the first place in America where tobacco was grown commercially. |
