SOLD – This set was purchased used in Pembroke, Ontario in the 1930s and has been in the same family ever since. One owner took them to Korea during the Korean war in the 1950s and played them in ceremonial events.

The wood looks like cocuswood, but its lighter, streaked hue also suggests Brazillian kingwood, also used by pipemakers in the first half of the 20th century. The projecting mounts are wood, the ferrules are nickel, and the ring caps are ivory. The blowpipe is a polypenco-lined blackwood replica. All other pieces are original.

This is one of the most voluminous Henderson pipes I have played.  In all respects this is a classic Henderson in volume, seamless tone and steadiness.  Though not all Hendersons are stamped in the cord guides, this set is.
