An Interesting Old Pipe

Last February I started helping a lady sell some of her father-in-laws pipes. In exchange she gave me my pick of three of them. I kept a Castello Sea Rock KKK and a Thomas Cristiano. None of the others really grabbed me but I kept holding on to this one for some reason. I finally pulled it out and decided to smoke it.

It's just an Algerian briar made in France, but I think I kept it because it's stamp "duTreil N. O. L. A." I did some research and one of the older New Orleans Pipe Club members remembered the shop. It was on Canal Street in New Orleans and went out of business around 1963.
