L&H STERN Bradford
USA
An unsmoked pipe born in a house with a view on Manhattan! L&H stern was established in 1911 and initially resided on Manhattan, but moved to Brooklyn in 1920. Except the location, popularity of L&H Stern Inc. was caused by high quality pipes of top series, such as Sterncrest, and the status of the main pipe supplier for US soldiers during the World War II.
The pipe markings are “BRADFORD \ IMPORTED BRIAR”. The length is 14.2 cm (5.59″), bowl’s height is 3.7 cm (1.46″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.1 cm (1.22″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.1 cm (1.22″) and this pipe weights 27 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, aluminum air cooler.
Can you provide me with any information on a pipe I acquired from my fathers estate. It has LHS CHICO engraved on the side. It is also imported briarwood wood.
I will be glad to send pictures if you will let me know where and how to send.
