AIWON Bruyere Garantie

October 31, 2024November 1, 2024

France, 1920-30s

It is rare to find a pipe marked BRUYERE GARANTIE that can be described as anything more specific than indicating it was made from genuine briar circa the 1920s-30s. The slightly unclear AIWON inscription and the even less legible MADE IN FRANCE suggest that it was manufactured by the French company La Bruyère, which merged with Chapuis Comoy in 1932. This makes it a delightful rarity!

Pipe markings “BRUYERE \ GARANTIE”, “AIW(ON)?”, “MADE IN FRANCE”
Length 12.5 cm (4.92″)
Bowl Height 4.3 cm (1.69″)
Outside Diameter 3.6 cm (1.42″)
Chamber Diameter 1.8 cm (0.71″)
Chamber Depth 3.5 cm (1.38″)
Weight 31 gr.

Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

The pipe is not for sale. It was restored to order and has already started a new life in a new cozy home.

France Despite English pipes are usually the most collectable, valuated and respected and a number of the most famous brands are English brands, we shouldn’t forget that many of them have French origin or are related to France. GBD was a French manufactory from the beginning, Dunhill gladly placed orders at French manufactories and of…
