Cobra 6 Actual Posted November 9, 2015 Share #76 Posted November 9, 2015 Not sure that this pipe was actually 'in the military' ... but, my guess is that someone that like's military jeeps used it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suwanneetrader Posted November 9, 2015 Share #77 Posted November 9, 2015 Thought I'd add a couple pipes from my older stuff: White Clay pipe is Navy I think US late 1700 early 1800's. The brown clay one is a trade pipe I found at the old Seminole Fort site Santa Fe River Ft White ,FL. about 35 - 40 years ago. They look much better from a distance, as remember it was clay poured into a mold and were very cheap just pennys for a case of them so closeup picture shows imperfections. They broke so easily it is hard to find one intact and it is difficult to date them as same mfg way from 1500's in Europe thru our CW or later. I traded for the white one so can only vouch for the one I found the brown one. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suwanneetrader Posted November 9, 2015 Share #78 Posted November 9, 2015 I just thought I'd add to my previous post that there was a White Clay pipe company in Glasgow for about a 100 years. I do not know if the 79 is a dater or ? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clane1942 Posted January 20, 2016 Share #95 Posted January 20, 2016 Have a great photo of my grandfather sitting in the cockpit of a B-25 during World War 2 that I will find a put up here later. Interesting story about pipe tobacco he told me one day. We were watching Black Sheep Squadron on tv one Saturday morning. And he says, those guys weren't as bad as the show makes them out to be. Never saw them fighting this much. I was in shock as a kid cause I'm hearing that my grandfather met the Black Sheep. I asked about Boyington and he said no he did not meet him that the only time he talked to them was when he would trade his beer ration for pipe tobacco. Said he did this on more than one occasion. Not sure if only officers got a pipe tobacco ration or just pilots. Just thought I would share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
