England, 1960s The pipe seems to came from the very beginning of the Lane era (early 1960s) and very probably made of family period briar: the stamping is already in line with Lane standards, but such the dublin shape and such kind of briar are more typical for earlier, Reuben Charatan’s period. Nice and collectable…
Ireland Not every Irish pipe is a Peterson. For example, in the 1970-80s Bruyere Pipe Limited (B.P.L.) from Dublin brought confusion to ranks of collectors and admirers of the Irish pipes. Of course, B.P.L didn’t compete Peterson for a very long time, but it made a number of very nice smoking devices. On the…
Denmark A good, practical and moderately smoked Danish pipe with a very nice grain and design – such stylish conjunction of the liverpool and chimney (or a tall billiard) shapes. There’s no detailed information about Kingswell brand, the pipe looks very similar to Erik Nording products.
Unknown The pipe is really made of a fine briar, the grain is fantastic, almost 360 straight grain. The full bent shape is amazing, highly respected and collectable. Unfortunately its owner was not always careful with the pipe, we had to fix a few scratches on the bowl.
England, 1950-70s The pipe of the one of the most popular and respected pre-Cadogan Comoy’s grades. This attractive bulldog was made during the 1950-70s period (see the nomenclature and the 3-part (inlaid) “C” on the stem).
England A wonderful cherrywood pipe from the Dunhill’s family! The brand Savory (Savory’s) was created in the 1885 and very soon was acquired by Dunhill. We were advised that it was a tobacconist located on the Agryll str. in London. Savory pipes were ones of the Dunhill seconds (similarly to Hardcastle, Parker, Masta) and have…
Denmark, 1960s A very nice lightweight and rare Stanwell pipe from the registration era. The shape number 78 was created by unsurpassed Siksten Ivarsson in 1950s. But since there is a crown on the stem, then the pipe was made a bit later, in 1960s. Usually Stanwell offered all shapes both with smooth and sandblasted…
England, 1950-70s The highest grade GBD pipe made in 1970s the latest, before the acquisition of the company by Cadogan. Amazing straight plus birdeyes grain, elegant aristocratic shape, great lightweight briar make the pipe an incomparable addition to any collection.
Unknown Unfortunately we don’t have an information about Mr. Miller and don’t know where he lives. The surname Miller (Mueller etc) is very wide and popular in different countries and it’s equally written both in English and in Danish. Nevertheless we can say for sure that Mr. Miller possessed good skills of the pipe carving and has fine…
England, 1960s A wonderful example of the Charatan’s art from the Lane era (1960s). The company competes with Dunhill not only in smooth pipes (the smooth Charatan’s was simply incomparable!) but also in the area of blasted (well, rusted and than blasted) pipes. One of the most successful products is Free Hand Relief. Like this…
