[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 21973, member: 341"] Thanks for the help, gents. Keene's site doesn't have a Schulte catalogue, but it does have some old BBB lists of stockists, including a "SCHULTX" [sic] in Harftord. A little deeper investigation revealed that D.A. Schulte Cigar was out of business--at least under that name--well before Frank bought the rights to the BBB marque. My last, best guess, then: the bowl is British-made BBB; no clue if the stem is a replacement or just unbranded. "Over 50 years" for Schulte could mean as early at the 1940s, but conservatively I would peg it c. 1960s, a time when pipe popularity would allow a market for a low-end pipe that someone never got around to smoking. As for the real important thing: the briar smokes pretty nice. The first bowl tasted like an antique shop, but after that, it was smooth sailing. I think it's going to be a winner for short smokes of English mixtures. [/QUOTE]
