[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 21903, member: 341"] I found a pleasant little BBB pipe in an antique store, unsmoked, in its original box and sleeve from D.A. Schulte haberdashers. It's a smallish straight apple with a planed bottom, so it sits flat. I don't think it was ever a high-grade pipe--it might be one of those deals where the maker made the "house brand" for the store--but at $13, the briar was cheaper than a new basket pipe, and it cleaned up pretty well. Does anyone know roughly how old this pipe might be? It has the BBB diamond logo on the shank, with "STANDARD" and ® underneath. On the flat bottom, "Genuine Imported Briar". No stem markings. Uncoated bowl, but not entirely smooth--a rough pattern in places. The sleeve also carries the BBB logo, and advertises D.A. Schulte as "Famous for Pipes & Smoker's Accessories for Over 50 Years." Not that knowing the age will make it smoke any better, but I'm just curious about the history of this little find. [/QUOTE]
