This is a picture of my grandfathers, both who have made there way to be in the presence and glory of God, and I am wondering if any of you can help me - or point me to a place that may help me - find a pipe like they have here.

This is the only picture I have of them together and the fact that they received pipes is hilarious to me, don't know why but it is.

Thank you in advance for your help

Those are Calabash pipes.
I saw some on cupojoes and I'm sure others have them.

Do you think this is the same one? It looks rather cheap (as in how it is structurely made). At first I didn't think it was two pieces but after looking closely at my grandfathers pipes you can definitely see a line at the base of the bowl.

Calabash

Not sure what you'd do with it though, the description reads:

'This is MIB Vintage Avon Collectible that has never been opened and used. This is only a decorative contatiner not a functional pipe. 1974-75 marketed. 3oz yellow gold sprayed glass with yellow gold plastic cap and black plastic stand. Holds Wild Country After Shave. CMV from the Bud Hastin's Avon Collector's Encyclopedia 12.00.'

Maybe it is good for self defense or clubbing a shark with, but leave your tobacco out of it!

A "true" calabash pipe is a meerschaum-lined gourd shell. The one for $179 on that link looks to be a real calabash.
