Photos of Pipe Smokers with Interesting Faces
I posted a picture on the discussion "Famous Pipe Smokers" of a Life Boat Captain that had this incredible face. I got to thinking that maybe there are others and maybe my fellow members would like to contribute. Here is a start;

I always wonder who they were and did they survive the war. Great picture and an interesting pipe.
Do you think he is Irish?
Actually she isn't any relation that I'm aware of.
Great Pictures! I particularly like the handsome white bearded gentleman smoking the meerschaum! Maybe someday if we are lucky we will all be blessed with interesting faces.
You should see me when I dress up...
I do have to find me a new Fedora like that one.It somehow disappeared last year. I think one of my grandsons took it.
My Grand kids are entitled to what ever they want. In a way your grandson honors you by wanting your Fedora. I still have my Grandfather's Cane. Happy fourth!
Oh. I'm not complaining about him having it. I just haven't found the appropriate replacement yet.
Those are some great faces!
Great face!
Sometimes I tend to get a bit philosophical when I've had a wee to much of the Irish.
Great old photo. Remember it applies to both husbands and wives.
Great photo!
Jean Erwin
A contemporary of Luther "Yellowstone" Kelly, Jean Erwin boasted a walrus-style mustache that put Kelly's own lip hair to shame. Kelly's journals mention wolf trapping with Erwin near Cone Butte in Fergus County.
Jerry Johnson
Does anything scream "Montana" more than a grizzled hot springs proprietor whittling away while smoking a pipe on a wolf pelt? Nothing would, if only Jerry Johnson's eponymous hot springs had been a few miles to the northeast instead of in the Idaho wilderness. "Old Jerry" was nevertheless a known prospector and trapper in Western Montana before becoming owner of the hot springs, and was buried in Missoula.
I had to do it.
Smoking Boomer
For nine years, Smoking Boomer greeted the Milwaukee Road’s passenger train, the Hiawatha, entertaining travelers and posing for pictures. When he died in 1949, town citizens bought him a casket and gave the dog a proper burial. Smoking Boomer was not forgotten. In 2006, the City of Harlowton and volunteers established a recreational trail. Its northern end follows the Main Line of the old Milwaukee Railroad. The trail is officially named the Smoking Boomer Rail Trail. What a great way to remember Harlowton’s most special canine.
Putting some historical facts with these awesome photos is an outstanding piece of work. Great job and thank you for the effort.
