Een prachtig voorbeeld van een geimporteerde zakvormige meerschuim pijpenkop in Engeland gemonteerd in een bijna koloniale bloemenstijl van grote luxe. Ook het stoffen etui voor de roker en de met leer beklede cassette getuigen van kostbaarheid. De pijp werd op 13 december 1973 door de directeur van Gallaher Ltd. in Londen, de heer L.F.G. Pritchard aan scheidend directeur Th. E. Niemeijer uitgereikt. Zie: Pijprokes Magazine, XIII-1, 1974, p 7. |
