England

There isn’t too much we can tell about this pipe. It also comes from the 1950th collection. The marking is “Cornishman London Made”. The more we are getting familiar with english pipes the more we feel that in the middle of XX century there was a special pipe brand in every town (like there was a special kind of “samogon” – home made vodka – in every Ukrainian village at the same time :-))

This nice english buldog pipe is 14.8 cm long, 4.5 cm tall and weights 36 gr. The bowl’s external diameter is 2.9 cm, inner – 1.9 cm, inner depth – 3.5 cm. Vulcanite stem, air cooler.

England Another one old good pipe from the 1950s. Some sources say that “Straight grain” was a kind of Comoy’s second (like other makers marked their pipes “Reject”) but we didn’t find a confirmation.

England This pipe is not so easy to identify as we may expect from a straight shape pipe. During different time periods the brand name “Grosvenor” was used both by Charatan and Sasieni. Nevertheless neither from the pipe’s nomenclature nor from it’s shape we can say definitely that the pipe belongs to one of these…

England, 1910s This very old English pipe was obtained with a really interesting 1912-13 pipe collection. As you can see pipe makers at these times didn’t pay too much attention to grain and pipes were rather compact – probably because smokers preferred heavy natural tobacco contrary to our modern aromatics. Since there’s no silver collar…

England A very nice English poker pipe from West Sussex. There’s no much information on this brand name, the most probably it was one of numerous English tobacconists, who ordered pipes from large manufacturers. Anyway, this is a live stylish English classic!
