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.

England The stamping, finish and the shape of this pipe look very similar to pre-Cadogan Orlik products. But of course we don’t have enough information to proove that. Therefore let’s keep calling the pipe simply “Made in England”.
