Tobacco pipe, approximately 14.5x5 cm (5¾x2"), manufactured by Digby of London. Accompanied by a pouch and box from a Dunhill pipe. Stamped on bottom with maker's name, city and number 135.

The present pipe was owned and smoked by author William Faulkner, tobacco residue is still present in the bowl. Faulkner was a well-known pipe smoker and photographed many times with a pipe in his hand. It is uncertain whether the present pipe appears in any of those iconic images. This pipe was one of several that were removed from Faulkner's home following his death by his stepson Malcolm Franklin. The pipe was then given to noted Faulkner collector and editor of the Faulkner Newsletter, William Boozer, through intermediary Professor James B. Meriwether, editor of several volumes of Faulkner's letters and interviews. A note, in Meriwether's hand, and signed twice by Franklin attesting to the pipe's provenance, along with two typed notes, signed, from William Boozer (one on the same sheet as the signed statement) accompany the pipe.
