Yes; It is original. As far as I know. I bought it from a reputable fellow, I've known for years. He was thinning out his collection. He's more of a Lumberman, Canadian shape Collector, and he was selling off his freehands. He decided he only needed to keep one or two of each particular shop /...
Here's some of the Auction photos of my latest acquisitions. The Harcourt has got to be one of the prettiest pipes I've ever owned. I absolutely love the golden yellow lucite gutter style stem. It is much prettier in person. Also the Willmers are to die for. I gave 100$ Total for the Willmers...

I think because he played with so many different people, that was part of his mojo. He was so versatile a musician, and not only did he lay down the bass line for the music, he contributed his own personal flair. A good Bass Man lay down a foundation for the rest of the band to sync to, along...
Yeah, especially since they were part of the backbone of Stax's session band. They have probably performed on more records than you can shake a stick at. They truly were Rock & Roll.
I love the shape, proportions, and the blonde color is Fabulous! That is a quality piece of work there, for sure. I must say for your third pipe, it is a masterful piece of work. You are sure to be a contender quickly. I tip my hat to you Sir.
