HLT Dr. Grabow Royalton

USA

The pipe has stamping of two famous and legendary American manufacturers. But it’s not a mistake: since 1953 Dr. Grabow company was merged with Henry Leonard & Thomas Inc. All further owners (United States Tobacco company, Lane Ltd., IPAL) continued to produce the popular Royalton series until our days. The pipe was very lightly smoked (perhaps once or twice) and has a really attractive straight grain.

The pipe markings are “HLT \ Royalton”, “DR.GRABOW \ IMPORTED BRIAR”. The length is 14.3 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.1 cm. External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm, internal diameter is 2.0 cm. The depth is 3.2 cm and this pipe weights 37 gr. Briar, acrylic stem, 6 mm filter.

England, 1960-70s A really unique high grade Charatan’s pipe! The De Luxe grade was actually one of the family-era series and it wasn’t stamped onto Lane era Charatan’s pipes. The Distinction grade belongs already to the Lane period, more specificly – “the second Lane era” (1965-76) in this case, the stamping “MADE BY HAND” proofs…

England Fortunately the name “Straiht Grain” is not a proprietary trade mark and each manufacturer can distinguish the best samples of the briar grain with such stamping. Usually internet search gives Comoy’s Straight Grain series or Barling Straight Grain pipes. However this pipe is hardly a Comoys or Barling creature. Comoys used substantially different serif…
