HARDCASTLE'S Jack O'London 127

HARDCASTLE’S Jack O’London 127

England, 1930-40s

An unsmoked Hardcastle’s pipe of the very popular and collectable “Jack O’London” trade mark made yet in pre-Dunhill “family era” times. And very probably – before 1946 and possibly before the World War II. A middle size classical English biliard which can sit on the desk. We preserved the original finish completely, though there are a few very small scratches and dints on it.

The pipe markings are “HARDCASTLE’S \ BRITISH MADE \ JACK o’LONDON”, “127”. The length is 12.2 cm (4.8″), bowl’s height is 3.7 cm (1.46″). External diameter of the bowl is 2.9 cm (1.14″), internal diameter is 1.5 cm (0.59″). The depth is 3.3 cm (1.3″) and this pipe weights 17 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.
