In the recent package of pipe brochures and catalogues there was an envelope of EA Cary Pipes from Toronto, Ontario. These brochures also included letters between the old pipeman and the company.
I am currently refurbishing an older 30-40s era Oom Paul that bears the stamping Sydney P. Ram. I had heard of the brand but knew next to nothing about it so I went on my normal sites and found a public domain catalogue for the shop that gave a lot of history. I thought I would share the catalogue with all of you. For me these old catalogues from an earlier time always are delightful to read and remind me of some of old pipe shops that I have enjoyed throughout my life.

A few years ago I came across the pictures of George Khoubesser, the principal behind Malaga Pipes. I believe I was researching the pipes as I had come across a rusticated bulldog in a junk shop and wanted to know what I had. I sold that pipe and have kicked myself repeatedly for getting rid of it. I have been looking for just the right Malaga pipe since then. I thought I would share the photos and the old Malaga catalogue I have as an electronic copy.
Here are the photos of George Khoubesser
And here is the old catalogue
