So I picked up 3 Jost pipes last week at an estate sale here in St. Louis.
Two of them are Jost Supremes and my favorite is a long group-1 billiard, covered in birdseye, called a "Jost's Olde English Supreme" that was made in England. It looks really cool and smokes like a dream and it's got me wondering about this shop.
I live in the Dogtown neighborhood of St. Louis and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me some of the history of Jost's. I know it was here in town, but when was it open? Where was the store? What do you remember about it?
I've seen the excerpt about Ms. Henry A Jost being one of 60,000 American Women Pipe Smokers which also talks a bit about the store, but I was wondering if anyone had anything else. Catalogs? Ads? Memories?
Thanks!
