I believe that the letters are actually JHW, using the pipe shape for the J. This was the stamp of Jack H. Weinberger. He was a retired lawyer that loved pipes and spent the rest of his life making large freehand pipes. Very nice pipes that are not that common.

IF that's a JHW then there is some interesting history to is. Mr. Weinberger employed a few high school students to work with him one of whom was Mark Tinsky. BTW, the pipes were made in West Caldwell, NJ; home of Tony Soprano.

Yes that is a Jack H. Weinberger pipe. That is the correct logo - nice photoshop or whatever you used btw.  A blowfish was sold on the bay a few months ago for $60. Great-estate-pipes if you want to google it and see the logo for yourself. |

On closer inspection does in fact say JHW an the pipe symbol is the "J". I got this in a paper bag of briar that I bought from some guy when I managed a cigar shop in Portland. I paid him $50 for the whole bag and when I got home I had two unsmoked Dunhills, an unsmoked 1981 Preben Holm Private Collection, and a large Ben Wade Freehand pipe. Guess it paid off. |
