These pipes and pipe holder were the favourites of David Marshall. The tobacco container is part of the pipe set. The pipe stand was made for him by his son Jonathan. Marshall is best remembered during his Chief Minister days for his bush jacket, which created a stir in Parliament for its unconventionality, and the signature pipe that was a trademark on his office desk, which he was always puffing up to his last days.
