Default william demuth baseball pipe 1895

guys, i picked up this absolutely awesome baseball tobacco pipe on ebay. if you saw the piece it was full of dirt. after talking to some pipe people all i did was use a little soap and water and this thing looks brand new .. bowl is missing. but after a little hard work on the computer i finally found the patent info which i cannot believe.. the pipe from what i found out is carved from briar wood. Demuth was a german immigrant who came here in the 1860s penniless. opened his own shop and became a major pipe company. the kicker is the arkansas estate where the pipe came from were german immigrants from the 1870s. Now i can go ahead and have a pipe specialist put the exact bulb back on the pipe. if you saw this in person it is a work of art and worth every penny i paid. enjoy
