GBD Conquest Prehistoric 9518

May 24, 2016January 11, 2019

England, 1950-70s

A “special edition” of one of the most successful GBD Prehistoric series. The designation “Conquest” (along with “Collector” and “Colossus”) served for marking of especially large pipes. At the same time the name Collector is really justified: pipe smokers from many countries (and furthermore refined collectors) appreciate and extol such convincingly large pipes. Just recall Lane era Charatan’s “large” and “extra large” pipes made first of all for USA market 🙂 So there’s definitely a collectable and valuable pre-Comoy’s GBD pipe (made before 1980)!

The pipe markings are “Conquest \ (GBD) Prehistoric”, ” LONDON ENGLAND \ 9518″. The length is 14.0 cm (5.51″), bowl’s height is 4.4 cm (1.73″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.2 cm (1.65″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 3.5 cm (1.38″) and this pipe weights 44 gr. Briar, perspex stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat.

England, 1950-70s A very rare GBD pipe! Even experienced collectors are unfamiliar with the “Dynasty” series. The only thing we can say for sure: this is the “Pre-Comoys” pipe made before 1981.
