Couldn't find a whole lot of info on this one, except that it was sold by Sears.  Before WWII, they sold it under the Ranger tradename, after WWII they sold it under J.C. Higgins.

Oh, and Marlin sold razor blades, too.

Wally Frank was another pipe maker from the United States that seems to have developed a sort of cult following among collectors of cheaper pipes.  Every time I sold one on eBay there was a flurry of bids for it and the final bid always surprised me at how high it went.

Here's one in which they combine at least three different gimmicks:

1.  Threaded interchangeable bowl.
2.  Pre-caked bowl.
3.  Aluminum "radiator" stem.

Not that there's anything wrong with any of these gimmicks, or anything wrong with this particular pipe.  However, breaking in a new pipe that has a completely naked inner bowl is not torture.  I've always enjoyed it, actually.

Wally Frank also had something going for a while that might get modern nannyists into a frothing fit.  They had a "Pipe of the Month Club."  Members would receive a brand new Wally Frank pipe in the mail once a month.  Of course, several tobacco distributors have had the same kind of program, at one time or another.

I've had a few Wally Franks pass through my hands.  They were decent pipes.  Nothing spectacular, but fine smokers nonetheless.  Every one I had, I eventually resold, mainly because they kept selling so high.  I mean, if I pay ten bucks for a box full of old pipes, and the Wally Frank sells for more than I paid for the entire lot, it's hard to not sell it.

The Model 87 was introduced in 1938 but this ad is from the 1950s.  From the Savage/Stevens era, this gun was also sold under the Savage brand name as the Model 6.

Another Kaywoodie ad from World War II, with art by Rudolf Wetterau.  Sentimental thoughts of home in the war year of 1944, depicting the ancient tradition of leaf-burning.

"Many Kaywoodies go direct to our fighting men -- please be patient if your dealer temporarily can't supply you."  Orders from soldiers were given priority over those from civilians, and of course, "war bonds come first."  Don't buy a pipe if you know you have greater priorities.
