On a recent visit to Dublin Jim was given a presentation of an engraved Silver Spigot wind cap "Baskerville' pipe by Tom Palmer and the staff at Sallynoggin. Jim was informed that this was in recognition of his research of the company's history and the development and promotion of the brand through his collecting activities. Tom stated that,"Your knowledge and feeling for our pipes, heritage and history is deep and unique and I would like to personally thank you for this dedication". Jim was very moved by this surprise event and was more than proud and grateful to accept the gifts given to him, stating that "I will treasure these always". | |||
