England, 1930-50s A very interesting high grade pipe from the oldest British registered pipe trade mark. Dating of BBB pipes is usually very difficult if possible at all, therefore normally it’s hard to say when exactly a partucular pipe was made. But in this case absence of the metal insert stem logo (commenced in 1950-60s),…
Denmark, 1960s One of the very first and the very collectables W.O. Larsen pipes stamped “Larsen Copenhagen”. In the most sources the “Copenhagen era” isn’t precisely defined but many experts call so period from the early 1960s till early 1970s. Every such Larsen pipe is usually a subject of many discussions and investigations – who…
Denmark, 1971 An unusually designed pipe from the one of the oldest and the most respected Danish tobacconist. The Pipe-Dan (Pibe-Dan) shop was opened in 1943 by H. Dan-Christensen and until 1991 there were offered pipes from leading Danish carvers such as Hans Hartmann, Gert Holbek, Sven Knudsen, Tom Eltang, Arne Nygaard, P. Holtorp, Poul…
England According to many respectable sources such as pipephil and pipedia Conway pipes were made “most probably” by Singleton & Cole. But we may suppose the company had also close relationships with John Redman factory and even identical series: you have seen probably Conway’s Aristocrat pipes which are very and very similar to John Redman’s…
England An unique pipe from the John Redman pipe factory in London. The finish is well know today for incredibly beautyful Ian Walker’s “Northern Briars Oriental” pipes. But as we can see the idea is much elder and it was implemented at least a few decades before.
Ireland, 1970-80s Everyone knows that Peterson’s pipes are great smokers! And that Peterson’s Shystem pipes are the greatest. You shouldn’t be confused with the stamping – it’s the same Peterson’s system but there’s nice carving instead of a metallic end cap. Very rare Peterson pipe! The series was produced in 1970-80s.
England, 1930-40s A moderately smoked and well preserved Hardcastle’s family era pipe made before 1946 and very probably – before WWII (during the War the company was unable to obtain briar for production as many others English manufacturers).
USA The brand we are not familiar with. Our sources (books and web sites) don’t give any hints either. The most probably it’s an American pipe. Nice straight grain indeed!
USA, 1930s An Americam pipe from a pre WWII pipe collection. It reminds some Ehrlich pipes, but the stamping font is a bit different. Despite the respectable age, it’s still a good device to test new tobacco or smoke while you’re hunting, fishing, walking – whatever you prefer to do.
USA An elegant, lightweight and practical American pipe from the one of the most popular brands in the USA.
