England Very nice and collectable Hardcastle’s pipe! 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 the 1967, when…

England, 1950s A witness of the highest glory of British pipe making! Duncan briars was founded in 1899 and became world famous not only for stable high quality and innovations (such as the dental stems), but also due to close connections with other brands and companies. George Walker from Duncan founded Northern briars, Peter Wilson…
England, 1930s A very good and well preserved pipe from the legendary Hardcastle’s family times, i.e. made before acquisition by Dunhill in 1946 (and the most likely before the WWII). Moderately smoked elegant classical English prince pipe! Sincerely recommended!
England, 1946-67 Argyle is obviously the Savory’s brand, but it seems that the pipe comes from the time, when both Savory and Hardcastle did belong to the Dunhill family and there were no objections to make a “Hardcastle’s Argyle”. This is really a nice pipe with a very stylish (Hardcastle’s) “weighted” bent shape and a…
England, 1946-67 A nice and practical Hardcastle’s pipe from the early “”Dunhill” era of the Hardcastle’s history, it was born in the period from 1956 to 1967, i.e. at the time of a harmonious merge of “family” technologies and Dunhill management.
England, 1960s An unique and fellow-less Charatan’s Make pipe of their best period (“Lane era”), i.e. late 1960s – early 1970s, when the glory of Charatan’s eclipsed all competitors, including Dunhill. The pipe of such the shape and grain could become “Supreme” or at least “Selected” grade. In this case briar block was too short…
England, 1950-70s An amazing Comoy’s product made during the last pre-Cadogan period (1950-70’s). Among others Comoy’s brands and subbrands Guildhalls are always an object of a special interest and attraction of collectors from many countries – who knows because of the glory and authority of the manufacturer or because of a mystery aura of the…
