Sydney P. Ram

[mikesan]

Anyone have any knowledge about this make?
No other stampings; just "Sydney P. Ram" in script.
I have one in my collection.  Don't recall where or when I got it.  (The perils of old age.)
It's a good smoker.

Hope this link works. Looks weird:

Richard,

Thanks. That link worked fine. I had googled it but came up empty.
Hadn't realized that the pipe was that old. Don't remember when I added it to my collection.
It is a large pot with a straight shank, and it smokes just finel.

Steve Laug just restored one and adds a bit of history about the maker in the entry.
