The only reference I could find to screwster was the urban dictionary, don’t go there!
Cleaned up nicely! All the grabows I have run across in antique stores look like they have been to hell and back.

Nice finds that deserve a good home. It looks like they found it. Plus I could imagine some situations where being able to say you have a “Screwster” pipe could be entertaining.

Nice finds. I've never heard of Screwster, either. Clear enough where it got the name, ill-considered though it is. Let us know how it smokes!

Update: oh no! I've made an embarrassing and humorous error. Upon further inspection, the pipe says "BREWSTER Imported Briar" which makes more sense. According to This great article by Steve at Reborn Pipes Brewsters were made by the Italian company Rossi in the mid 1960s as a promo for Sir Walter Raleigh. Guess I'll have to track down some SWR for authenticity's sake. Sorry for the misidentification. |

I like Screwster better. It speaks more intimately to modern terms.

If they went with Screwster as the name the sales might have been better.  |
