Billie W. Taylor II, Ph.D.
Collection

Judith Marquardt offered this unusual pipe on eBay. It is the first ColorCob I have seen. As you can see on the label above, the pipe is made for Venturi by Hirschl & Bendheim. Of course, the colored corn cobs were a natural extension of the colored pipes which gave Venturi fame and fortune, at least for a time. See my History of the pipe for the Hirschl & Bendheim part of the story.
