Description
Custom-Bilt pipes were originally created in the early 20th century by Tracy Mincer, an American pipe-maker. Later adopting the slogan, ‘As Individual as a Thumbprint,’ Custom-Bilts were each rusticated by hand, giving them their signature rugged look, and ensuring that no two Custom-Bilts were exactly alike. Today, these pipes are prized by collectors, pipe history enthusiasts, and those who generally appreciate a well-made smoking machine.
As this is a “Custom-Bilt” pipe, and not a “Custombilt,” this pipe will have been made between 1934 and 1946, which really makes you appreciate how hardy these pipes are. Eight decades down, many more to go.
The condition is fair. Chamber slightly over-reamed, and some rim darkening.
