I ONLY KNOW WHAT LITTLE I HAVE SEEN IN MOVIES OR ON TV ABOUT ENGLISH GENTLEMANS CLUBS. PERHAPS A EXCLUSIVE GENTLEMANS CLUB OF THE PERIOD WOULD HAVE HAD SUCH A PIPE RACK AT THE CLUB FOR THE MEMBERS TO LEAVE THEIR PIPES AT THE CLUB. THE STEWARD COULD BRING THEM THEIR PIPE AND SOME TOBACCO WHEN REQUESTED. THEY COULD SMOKE AT THE CLUB EVEN IF THEIR WIFE DISSAPROVED OF THE HABIT IN THE HOME. THE ITEM IS CERTIANLY OF THE HIGH QUALITY WORKMANSHIP REQUIRED BY THE WEALTHY WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF SUCH CLUBS. JUST A THOUGHT
