I recently found a beautiful,large, flawless, straight grain, long shank, freehand pipe by an unknown maker. The only markings are WOOLSEY 255. Each of the letters are individually stamped and uneven. The pipe has a square shank w/horn tenon and a vulcanite stem and is about 8" long. This was obviously created by a skilled craftsman and I suspect WOOLSEY may be the shape or grade and not the maker. CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY this handsome pipe. I can email pictures ....thanks ........Greg


Hello Greg, Wow, that sounds like a beautiful pipe. I'm not sure many people will see your question here. And we don't have a question area on Pipedia. You might want to run your questions by the folks on A.S.P, or perhaps one of the other Forums. You can find a few of them on Pipedia Links.
All the best in your search. Scott --sethile 12:01, 23 September 2008 (CDT)


Hello Greg, I have only seen one WOOLSEY once before. Was auctioned on eBay by a lady from Nebraska. The pipe came from a household liquidation-- So, sorry, no further details. Stamping "WOOLSEY" (as you described it) + "73" (year of production?). I presume an US carver not identified yet. Maybe it's a pseudonym.

Please, by all means, send some pics of your pipe to Scott! Any detail might prove to be very helpful! Thanks, TseHa
