Picked up this very early, it was the 7th pipe JT made in 1987 when it was JT & D Cooke hand printed.

You’d by shocked to see how light the blast work is on this Canted Sitter Cherrywood with Plateau top and smooth sections where he obviously taped to have it look that way.

This pipe has an early elegance to it showing JT had a deft hand even before he developed his deep blasts. The pipe had been smoked less than 5 times in 31 years, I’m happy to say that is no longer the case because it’s the other pipe in rotation with the Peterson Gold Spigot Billiard I posted earlier and an MM Twain with Creamsicle Swirl Forever Stem. Regards and yes, I do have hair!

good on you keeping the awesome work of JT Cooke circulating. In the "Vermont" thread, mentioned yrs ago how VT resident Barry Levin got together an anon. place to contribute to the surgery Cooke needed to have for the carpal tunnel. Cooke & wife Debbie (?) had decided to "friendly" divorce by this time but was there when he got the check.....Jim just completely broke down in tears it was said by Deb. Proud to say that at that time, I had excellent income & was able to contribute $1000 to the cause. Have seen a few pics of Jim at various pipe shows...assume he still wears his wrist braces. Quite a guy....a real "hippie" for most part. Thanx for the pic of the poker!
