It is related that he
handed the pipe to
Bishop Andrewes,
who administered
the last sacraments
of the church tohim,
and the goodly bish
op passed it to the
Carews, of Bed-
dington, England.
From this family it
came into the pos
session of the Glov
ers, of Croydon, and
afterwards to the
Bryants,of Reigate,
England. W. A.
Bryant, of this fam
ily exhibited the
relic at G u i I d h a 11

T his pipe sir
WalterRaleigh
carried back to Eng
land and used in
cessantly, and is no
doubt a souvenir of
the first authentic
introduction of to
bacco into England.
When Raleigh’s
fall came, simultane
ous with the weak
ening of Queen
Elizabeth’s power,
and he mounted the
scaffold, he held the
stem of this pipe in
his teeth.
The
The Great Grand-Daddy
of the Jimmy Pipe
pipe is now the property of
Horace G. Blundell, 10 Stile Hall
Parade, Chiswick, London, W., Eng
land, who received it two years ago
from his grandfather, who had married
into the family of Bryant.
This pipe is in a splendid state of pres
ervation and is made of Virginia maple
wood and is rudely carved with two
dogs’ heads and four faces of Indian
squaws. There is also a whistle cut
in the pipe, by which it is said Sir
Walter Raleigh summoned his serv
ants. It is made in four pieces and is
2 1 2 times larger than this photograph.

This old he-one is the original
jimmy pipe that Sir Walter
Raleigh probably sat up nights
carving while he smoked one
extra pipeful before turning in.
If Sir Walter had had
Mnce Albert
the notional joy smoke
to puff on, he’d have made the
original jimmy pipe the size of
a log of wood and stayed up all
night, because P.A. can’t bite
the tongue or make you pipe-
tired, it’s patented.
Those were good Injuns that
tipped Sir Walt off to the joy
of pipe smoking. Sir Walt
deserves a specially soft cloud
for introducing the jimmy pipe
to Johnny Bull and the rest of
us. Prince Albert deserves the
everlasting love of pipe fans, for
it has brought into the game
the real joy of smoking fragrant,
delicious tobacco minus the
tongue sting and throat torture.
Get out your jimmy pipe and
then buy a toppy red bag of
P. A., 5c; or a tidy red tin,
10c; or a good supply in a
pound or half-pound humidor.
