England, 1980s The shape number 309 is perhaps the most successful and popular Comoy’s canadian shape and became already a kind of a standard. Therefore we’re really happy to offer you this legendary, shiny, capacious and unsmoked (!) Comoy’s canadian pipe made after 1980. The pipe markings are “COMOY’S / KENT”, “MADE \ IN \…

The pipe markings are “PETERSON’S \ DE LUXE”, “MADE IN THE \ REPUBLIC…
England, 1972 Red Bark is perhaps the best-known and valued Dunhill series among other “retired”. The Red Bark pipes were produced not for a long time – from 1972 to 1987, and in fact, they are traditional sandblasted Dunhills, but smokers and collectors are still attracted by these pipes and their unusual staining. By the…

England, 1960-70s Like many other companies Hardcastle was a traditional family pipe business. In 1946 Alfred Dunhill bought the shares turning Hardcastle into a 100% Dunhill subsidiary. But until 1967 family management of the company retained a certain independence. Our today’s pipe was made for sure after 1967, when Hardcastle was completely managed and led…
England A very pleasant Redman’s bulldog pipe, most likely of 1970-80s years of birth. In any case the series isn’t registered neither in earlier catalogues available to us, nor in other sources. Very probably, it was ordered by one of contractors; therefore it bears quite an unusual for John Redman model and the shape number….

USA, 1950s An American classic from the 1950s, the era of rock’n’roll, big beautiful cars with loud radio receivers (is the series name a hint on the Oldsmobile Starfire? :-) ) and the blossoming of many American pipe brands. Nevertheless, this Dr. Grabow’s Starfire with its wire carved finish can’t be confused with any other…
England, 1950-70s The pipe represents one of the countless GBD lines produced till 1980, in other words: during the best times before the company was merged with Comoy’s under Cadogan’s roof. Traditional shape, affordable price, great manufacturer – recommended! The pipe markings are “DIGBY \ LONDON MADE”, “LONDON ENGLAND \ 529”. The length is 13.1…
England, 1960-70s A very high grade GBD pipe marked both “Prodigy” and “Straight grain” made approximately between the late 1960s and late 1970s most probably by Horry Jamieson (ex Barling carver), who was experienced in freehand design and created many amazing “Collector” and “Unique” pipes for GBD. A decent response to Danish artisans!
