A guy on Facebook/ Corncobnation posted a pic she made visiting the MM headquarters. Them cobs are older than ol Ed...now that is old! If you look at the sign...made for the 1904 world’s fair in St. Louis.   |

Very cool pic of Americana right there. How neat is it that we can still buy their products over 100 years later?
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice pictures, thanks for posting. I’m able to stretch the picture on my 12.9” iPad....just amazing 👌👍👍. There are a few that can be considered a reverse Calabash style. The length of some of those Churchwarden pipes needed to be lit with your toes...lol. Some stunning Cobs for sure!!

I see at least a couple of products that are no longer available, that we might mourn: cob cheroot/cigar holders and cob cavaliers.
I also see cobs with a reed stem. Nobody regrets those passing.
I also see cobs with vulcanite and bakelite stems, in 1904. Missouri Meerschaum has been on the cutting edge for quite some time!

Thats an amazing work of art. Thanks for sharing that, trailboss. Some of us have enough corn cobs we could do our own. |

A thing of beauty! Thank You for posting. Don't know what all I'd be willing to do to get my hands on one of the Cavaliers.
Kinda wonder if they were offering a larger variety then compared to now?

Those we consider Corn Dawgs today certainly were trailboss, however the 2 ring version I pointed out was sort of the precursor so to speak, cheers. banjo |
