I don't think I've ever paid that much ($400+) for any pipe. I guess I'd be at most a $5 or $10 pipe owner back then.
But if we thought a $25 pipe was expensive in 1945, we haven't seen anything yet.
Soon enough, we'll read about one of the high end pipe makers of that era.

Besides being a beautiful and stylish piece of advertising in its own right, this one might evoke images of the the long distant past for some of us … perhaps a hazy reminiscence of someone’s parents or grandparents, now very old or gone, first courting back in the day … full of youth and beauty, and promise for the future. It’s a snapshot of one of the stages of life, something we sometimes forget that we all share. Old Grandpa or Pop-pop Codger was once a vibrant and dashing young man in his prime, too.

And dressed like grownups instead of like Bart Simpson.
Plus I see they refer to the long yellow wool thing by its proper name, "muffler," instead of "scarf." Scarves are those silky things women wear as fashion accessories. Men wear mufflers.
A suit and tie to a sporting event is long past. Today, the folks you see there are barely able to put on a t shirt and sweat pants.

Looks like the guy I saw coming out of a bar at 7 am on Decadence weekend years ago. Except he was wearing a leather biker cap and a leather Speedo.
He was probably feeling a little "over-dressed"
It was Labor Day weekend and hotter than Satan's . . . homeland. Still, leather in hot humid conditions . . .?He was probably feeling a little "over-dressed"

Here's another four-pipe camaraderie scene, with cards. And at least two stogies so that reasonable minds may differ.
Another Codger Cabin to be sure.

Do you know by chance which card game this is?
