Vintage Dr Grabow Silver Duke Briar Pipe Smooth Billiard Ajustomatic Pat 2461905 For Sale

Vintage Dr Grabow Silver Duke Briar Pipe Smooth Billiard Ajustomatic Pat 2461905

Up for consideration is a classic American estate find: a Vintage Dr. Grabow \"Silver Duke\" Imported Briar Tobacco Pipe.

This collectible mid-century piece is shaped into a textbook, time-tested Straight Billiard silhouette, highly favored for its comfortable hand-feel and perfectly balanced weight distribution. The stummel features a smooth natural finish showing off a clean grain profile with a warm, rich amber-chestnut stain.

Collector\'s Note on Dating: This pipe features the highly clear historic stamping of Patent #2461905 on the shank. This patent for the Ajustomatic mechanism was granted in 1949, placing the production of this mid-century \"Silver Duke\" squarely in its prime vintage era. The threaded screw-in stem design was engineered to prevent shank cracking and ensure your stem lines up perfectly straight every single time.
