The limited edition Graham Bell pipes have been created and manufactured to commemorate the
centenary of the passing of Alexander Graham Bell and to inform about his most famous
invention, the telephone.

of the shape of the earpiece of an early telephone. It is fitted with an engraved Sterling silver band
and each pipe is accompanied by a solid, Sterling Silver tamper showing in finest detail an early
telephone.
The highly collectable Graham Bell pipes & tampers are presented in a prestigious leather-bound
book and come with a numbered and hand-signed limited edition certificate.
