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.
