This is long stem wooden base and rubber stem pipe. It has been handed down through the years in our family. It was from a great , great Uncle of mine and I am 50 years old. There is a stamp on the side of it that says " Round Top W D C French Briar". Does anyone have any information on this pipe? It's age and worth??

Pipesmagazine.com has an ask us section where you could probably get the best information. I was researching a Kaywoodie pipe for a friend and stumbled across your W.D.C. brand. (William Demuth Company). I believe that brand of pipe was carried in the Sears, Roebuck catalog.
I would love to know some info about this pipe too, since I have one. I bought it about ten years ago on Ebay; I believe I paid 75 dollars for it at the time and I know nothing about it. I smoke it, and I am always getting compliments because it is such an unusual pipe. If you found out anything about it, please post the info. Thanks and good luck
