I found this in my house whilst having a tidy. I think it belonged to my granddad or great-grandad - never used- might it be worth anything?

Me ,being a helpful chapee ,saw this plea and as an ex pipe smoker,many years ago I took up the habit to ween me off of fags.
The crafty ploy worked but I then got married and shortly went back on the fags.
Anyway I've done a bit of research and can tell you that the pipe is a "Masta" pipe,manufactured by M.P.P.Co.Ltd.
They also did a very rare version for Ladies ,of a certain gender fluid disposition, called the "Misses" pipe.
Now had it had been a "Misses" pipe it would be worth a bleedin fortune but unfortunately your "Masta" pipe might get you a few Bob only.
Hope this helps. smokin

p.s. Whilst typing this I appear to have mislaid my bedroom slippers,which is a right pain as I was planning for a spin in the Aston.

If it has a full service history showing an annual application of Dunhill's Pipe Bowl Preservative by an authorised Masta Pipe dealer, then I think it could be worth as much as nine pounds.
