July 24, 2019July 24, 2019

England, 1960-70s

A very nice finding – unsmoked Charatan’s Special pipe from the 1960-70s. Moreover it’s the 489 shape which is on our opinion one the most successful and recognizable. We have already represented this Charatan’s model in smoked condition as well as the Bewlay pipe of the same shape made by Charatan’s.

The pipe markings are “CHARATAN’S MAKE \ LONDON. ENGLAND \ SPECIAL”, “489DC”, “REGD # \ 203573”. The length is 14.1 cm (5.55″), bowl’s height is 4.6 cm (1.81″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.91″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weights 47 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The pipe comes with its original box, whih is significantly well-worn over the many years of storage.

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.

COMOY’S Desk Pipe 160S
August 10, 2016January 7, 2019
England, 1980-90s Almost every pipe needs a stand, so why not to combine the stand and the pipe itself? Looks very useful for a man whose desk is covered with reports, diagrams, financial magazines and whatever else we can imagine 🙂 A beautiful and fresh implementation of this idea from the 1980-90’s made by Comoy’s….

MADE BY HAND unsmoked
October 29, 2016January 7, 2019
England, 1960s The stamping “Made by hand in London City” was absolutely typical for the Charatan’s second Lane era (1965 – middle of 1970s) pipes. This unsmoked sample was perhaps predetermined to become at least an upper middle grade pipe, but a couple of scratches (or surface neat cracks?) changed its destiny quite dramatically and…

England Every respected pipe manufacturer tried to expand the range and to attract buyers not only with a variety of models, shapes and finishes, but also with numerous “delicacies”: accessories, pipes sets – for 7 days, for 5 days, “evening – morning”, and so on and so forth. Naturally, the value of such set is…

Italy A really great Italian pipe! We don’t have perhaps to repeat a well known story how Achille Savinelli and Enea Buzzi founded the Savinelli company in 1947 and how in 1953 theirs ways have parted: while Achille (responcible for marketing) stayed with Savinelli, Enea (responcible for manufacturing) founded his own brand named in honour…

CHARATAN’S Make Distinction panelled
January 25, 2018December 24, 2018
England, 1960s A Charatan’s pipe of “the second Lane era” (1965-76), the period of the brightest blossoming of this brand, delightful shapes and grains, which eclipsed all others pipe makers including Dunhill. There’s no shape number on the pipe, thus it was made by one of the leading carvers at this factory regardless any catalogues….
