England

Just a “London Made” pipe from the middle of the XX century. Many of such pipes were made by Parker-Hardcastle’s, but due to some unknown reasons didn’t obtain an official manufacturer stamping. Pleasant and comfortable classical English sandblasted bent billiard for an affordable price!

The pipe markings are “LONDON MADE”. The length is 13.0 cm (5.12″), bowl’s height is 4.8 cm (1.89″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.5 cm (1.38″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 4.2 cm (1.65″) and this pipe weights 39 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat.

London Tower

England We didn’t find any hint who could make this pipe. Some sources mention Comoy’s London Tower pipes although the stamping font on this pipe is noticeably different to Comoys.
