COMOY'S Designer 500

COMOY’S Designer 500

England

Comoy’s freehand pipes are a rarity, we are not sure if there were many sophisticated shapes introduced during the company’s full history  but since 1980’s new management launched the Comoy’s designer series  – a row of very interesting and collectable artizans models. 

The pipe markings (slightly rubbed) are “COMOY’S \ DESIGNER \ 500”, “MADE IN LONDON \ ENGLAND \ 1708”. The length is 15.8 cm, bowl’s hight is 5.5 cm. External diameter of the bowl is  4.6 cm,  internal diameter is 2.3 cm. The depth is 4.4 cm and this pipe weights 53 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat. The stem is newly made from the fresh piece of vulcanite so we can consider the pipe as a “partially unsmoked” :-).
