Zitat:
"The year is 1926: Robert Goddard launches the first liquid-fuel rocket, at Auburn, Massachusetts; Roald Amundsen flies over the North Pole; Fox Film buys the patents of the Movietone sound system for recording sound onto film; Twelve cars full of gangsters open fire at the Hawthorne Inn, Al Capone's Chicago headquarters; and this pipe was born. Sure, that's more headlines than I usually post, but they were all so cool! This patent Dunhill has that craggy texture collectors love. Some condition issues aside; replacement tenon, and opened airway, this is one cool pipe.
