DR. GRABOW Royal Duke Bent Bulldog Estate Tobacco Pipe ~ Filtered American Briar

Description: Evening folks. Welcome to Brook & Boulder. We collect and sell only what we have a passion for. I particularly, have been collecting pipes for almost a decade. To steal a quote made by Julian 'Stinky' Emery a character from a Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce classic Dressed to Kill, ''I'm a collector you know, and a collector buys but never sells''. Well... deep cut quote or not, I'm sellin. Some of the pipes you see listed are from my private collection and others I have simply purchased in passing. My pipes are ready to smoke once you receive them. A bit about this pipe: A very lightly smoked rusticated bent bulldog. Courtesy Of DrGrabow-pipe-info.com Dr. Grabow Pipes are named after Dr. Paul E. Grabow (my deceased Grandfather), a general-practitioner physician formerly with an office on the northeast corner of Fullerton and Halsted in Chicago. His youngest son was Mr. Milford P. Grabow (my Uncle) who passed away January, 2005 in Chicago. Dr. Grabow's other son (my Father, deceased in 1979) was Dr. William S. Grabow, a dentist who practiced in Chicago and Evanston, IL. Milford Grabow recently recounted details of the Dr. Grabow Pipe legend in a letter to me as follows: "To start from the beginning, the old homestead was on 2348 Seminary Ave. (Chicago) before the De Paul University bought and tore down the whole area to expand the campus. Three doors north on 2400 Seminary Ave. (corner of Fullerton) was Brown's Drug Store, one of the old fashion community Drug stores that was popular of that area and was owned by Brown the Druggist. It had the usual ice cream counter and wire chairs and tables to serve sodas and sundaes. My Father became fast friends with his fishing buddy the Druggist. Most every weeknight after dinner while Mom did the dishes, Pop would visit Mr. Brown in the back room of the store and they would have weighty discussions about world events, fishing, politics, sports, etc. while smoking their pipes. One block west on Fullerton on the corner of Racine was the large pipe factory owned by Mr. Linkman. Mr. Linkman, when he wasn't too busy, would join the other two in their bull sessions and the three became fast friends. It was during one of their nightly sessions that Mr. Linkman mentioned that he was coming out with a new pipe containing some innovated improvements and was looking for a name for it. He thought if it contained a Doctor's name it would probably sell well so he asked my Father if he would mind if he could use the Dr. Grabow name as he liked the sound of it. My Father liked the idea and was flattered to have a pipe named after him. Approximate Specs In Millimeters.
