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.

Hall, Westminster NYC, L&H Sterns – we can’t say for sure. Just a compact, nice, moderately smoked and affordable American…

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 A quite interesting sample of a some kind of a noname high grade. The pipe was born in the 1980s in the USA. It’s really American – both by the country of acquisition and by the style of carving. The idea is simple and functional; it seems the shape is rather trivial and tested….
