England, 1960-70s

Fribourg & Treyer was perhaps the most reputable English tobacconist. “While most collectors are familiar with the “Royal Appointment” accorded certain well-established businesses in England (most commonly seen on Dunhill packaging) FRIBOURG & TREYER’s not only held an identical appointment by the King of England, but they also had a similar “Royal Appointment” by the King of Belgium!” (с) pipedia.org Obviously, here mattered the status of the oldest company (F&T was founded in 1720) and the list of contractors, which produced pipes for F&T (GBD, BBB and Barling were undoubtedly ones of the most respected brands). This pipe is of course not from the XXVIII century; it was born rather in 1960-70s, before the closing of the F&T pipe shop. A very pleasant sample! It’s difficult to say why it was marked “Reject”: there’s nothing on the bowl except a couple of scratches.

The pipe markings are ” REJECT”. The length is 13.9 cm (5.47″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 2.9 cm (1.14″), internal diameter is 1.7 cm (0.67″). The depth is 3.6 cm (1.42″) and this pipe weights 26 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat.

CHARATAN'S
MADE BY HAND unsmoked
October 29, 2016January 7, 2019
England, 1960s The stamping “Made by hand in London City” was absolutely typical for the Charatan’s second Lane era (1965 – middle of 1970s) pipes. This unsmoked sample was perhaps predetermined to become at least an upper middle grade pipe, but a couple of scratches (or surface neat cracks?) changed its destiny quite dramatically and…

CHARATAN’S MAKE 30120 Reject
October 14, 2019October 14, 2019
England, 1960-70s The shape and dimensions ideally fit Lane era Charatan’s 30120 shape, we have sold such the Charatan’s Make Belvedere 30120 recently. The grain says it has to be at least a great middle grade pipe – Perfection or Special, but the pipe was stamped as a “Reject” because of a few very small…

England, 1950-70s A full-grade pipe from the most reputable oldest English tobacconist! Not a “Reject”, though their “Rejects” are pretty good and we’re always very glad to offer them. But this time it’s a nonpareil lightweight “Vintage” series pipe. A rare and very collectable addition to any good collection!

HARDCASTLE
HARDCASTLE’S London Made
September 27, 2018December 13, 2018
England, 1950-60s, unsmoked An unsmoked example of the Hardcastle’s craftsmanship from the 1946-1967 period. The company was already adopted under the Dunhill umbrella, but family management of the company retained a certain independence in production and marketing. Therefore the pipe is interesting both as a creature of the legendary old, good and famous English manufactory…

REJECT London Made
August 10, 2016October 1, 2022
England A nicely made English pipe. The heavy bowled bent shape and cross cut grain look quite similar to Charatan’s products from 1960’s, but the pipe is just a beautiful item regardless its origin. And the dark spot on the bowl’s back doesn’t prevent a smoking pleasure.
