Classic Apple

USA

A skillfully made apple from 1970-80s USA. We don’t know which motives or reasons prevented to leave a marking on the pipe, but the master has nothing to be ashamed of: everything is thought over exactly and elegantly. Most likely the pipe was prepared for one of the American tobakonists.

The pipe doesn’t have markings. The lenghts is 14.6 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.4 cm. External and internal diameters of this bowl are 2.9 cm and 2.1 cm. The depth is 3.7 cm and this pipe weights 37 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

USA, 1940-50s A product of the Empire Briar Pipe Company Inc. of New York, most probably from the 1940-50s. The pipe did require some more attention than just a clean up . The stummel had a few dings which were carefully and reliably patched, the right side of the shank seems to be not ideally…

USA, 1930s The pipe comes to us with the 1930s collection, so it’s probably one of the early Marxmans – the company has been founded in 1934 by Robert (Bob) L. Marx, former William Demuth Company employee and merged with Mastercraft in 1953. Allthough the company didn’t use very expensive briar, very fast Marxman pipes…
