COMOY’S Guildhall 296B

July 9, 2016January 10, 2019

England, 1950-70s

An amazing Comoy’s product made during the last pre-Cadogan period (1950-70’s). Among others Comoy’s brands and subbrands Guildhalls are always an object of a special interest and attraction of collectors from many countries – who knows because of the glory and authority of the manufacturer or because of a mystery aura of the three metallic stripes?

The pipe markings are “The \ GUILDHAL \ LONDON MADE”, “MADE \ IN \ LONDON \ ENGLAND”, “296B”. The length is 14.4 cm (5.67″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.4 cm (1.34″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. There was a small sign of the neat crack in the shank therefore we have banded the pipe. The original stem has some age related tiny dots thus we add the spare stem to the pipe for your convenience.

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…
