Just got my first pipe. It's a basket pipe from one of the local tobacco shops. The pipe is a La Torre Diamante, stamped on the bottom of the shank. Can you guys tell me anything about these pipes? So far google has been unhelpful. I will post a pic soon. Thanks in advance.
La Torre pipe

This is all I found at pipedia
"La Torre pipes were made by Ernesto Ossola, a pipemaker about the 1970's.
Stamping: Tower logo + "La Torre" + "Personal" (both in script) + (usually) "N1". Or "La Torre" + "DIAMANTE"
Mr. ERNESTO OSSOLA WAS A CRAFTSMAN THAT WORKED UNTIL 1978 FOR "CASTELLO", AND SINCE THEN HE MADE PIPES WITH HIS "LA TORRE" LOGO UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 2010"
