COMOY’S David’s 1459

May 9, 2014February 5, 2019

England

When we looked for Comoy’s pipe recently in Internet we have discovered that many modern Comoys are produced in Denmark. That’s difficult to say something about their quality (same story is with a number of brands that has been moved there like Barling or Ben Wade) however their prices are suspiciously budgeted . Yet we still keep insisting that right Comoy’s pipes should be made in England.

Our today’s pipe is really an English one. Its shape number and overall conditions prove that it was made not earlier than in 1980s. So the pipe is relatively young and impresses with its expressive grain and golden-brown colour. Moreover the pipe was smoked perhaps once or twice: there’s still no carbonization in the bowl

The pipe markings are “СOMOY’S \ DAVID’S”, “1459”, “MADE \
IN \ LONDON \ ENGLAND” and “9R””. The length is 13.2 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.7 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.0 cm and 1.9 cm. The depth is 3.0 cm and this pipe weights 31 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England Smoking process -if it goes correctly – is slow and almost static. Therefore probably “the animal subject” in marking of pipes is very moderate and conservative. There’s of course such extreme shape as a “cobra” (very effectively implemented by Gasparini). There’s Falcon, there is a number of sparrows, roosters, geese and owls. You can…

England, 1950-70s The pipe belongs to one of the most popular and respected pre-Cadogan Comoy’s grades. This attractive billiard was made during the 1950-70s period (see the nomenclature and the 3-part (inlaid) “C” on the stem). An intersting (and rare!) detail: the pipe was made and marked for a tobacconist in the capital of Netherlands….

England, 1930s Both stampings and the shape number (296 for a canadian) testify that it’s a Comoy’s creature. Moreover such the stamping in a circle with “MADE” at the top, “IN” in the middle, and “ENGLAND” forming the bottom of the circle proves that the pipe was undoubtedly made not later than in the 1930s…
