England, 1960s
A pleasant 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. A medium size fresh and enjoyable dublin. Sincerely recommended!
The pipe markings are “CHARATAN’S MAKE \ LONDON. ENGLAND \ SPECIAL”, “333X”. The length is 14.3 cm (5.63″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.1 cm (1.61″), internal diameter is 2.2 cm (0.87″). The depth is 3.5 cm (1.38″) and this pipe weights 37 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem (slightly corrected, you may identify the track under a bright light), no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat.
