[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 4966, member: 3"] Just checked my copy of Pipes - Artisans and trademarks. Commentary reads : Gran Hill - North American brand of a Fargo tobacconist's belonging to Lonnie Fay in the 1970's. Lonnie has made some freehands bearing this stamp. There is also a foot note stating that Tom Colwell also mentions an English brand with this name. No cross reference for Lonnie Fay. Just from that little bit of info and in looking at the pipe I'd say that I have no idea what it COULD be worth, but if I really wanted it I could see dropping a couple hundred on it. The ring grain that's visible around the bowl is pretty cool (looks like it would have made a great blast) and the aesthetic with the plateau foot is quite unique, good looking finish overall. The only thing that detracts from the beauty for me is the stem but that too seems fitting for the freehand style and time (1970's) when the pipe was likely carved. [/QUOTE]
