GBD (Flame Grain) Reject

April 21, 2016January 14, 2019

England

A rare, amazing and really lightly smoked example of GBD pipes art before the merge with Comoy’s. It’s difficult to say why the pipe was marked as a “Reject” – except a small darkening on the chamber’s bottom apparently there’s nothing.

The pipe markings are “Reject” and “GBD” (on the stem). The length is 12.8 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.6 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.6 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 4.0 cm and this pipe weights 35gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

GBD Collector Fantasy 9655

England, 1950-70s A “special edition” of one of the very interesting GBD series with a combined finish. The designation “Collector” (along with “Conquest” 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…

England, 1960s High titles, academic degrees, diplomas and medals are not necessary indicators of value and quality. Of course, it would be wrong to ignore all regalia too. But both people and pipes should be evaluated not only by clothes and marks.

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.
