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 Thanks to the knowledgeable community of the Pipes Magazine forum the story of Abraham Taylor’s family business is presented quite clearly, although it is evident that the general outline does not differ much from the stories of other Jewish immigrants, such as the Bewleys or the Sasieni. The Taylors arrived in the United Kingdom…

England Another one old good pipe from the 1950s. Some sources say that “Straight grain” was a kind of Comoy’s second (like other makers marked their pipes “Reject”) but we didn’t find a confirmation.

England A nicely made English pipe. The heavy bowled bent shape and cross cut grain look quite similar to Charatan’s products from 1960’s, but the pipe is just a beautiful item regardless its origin. And the dark spot on the bowl’s back doesn’t prevent a smoking pleasure.

England, 1950s A witness of the highest glory of British pipe making! Duncan briars was founded in 1899 and became world famous not only for stable high quality and innovations (such as the dental stems), but also due to close connections with other brands and companies.

England This pipe is not so easy to identify as we may expect from a straight shape pipe. During different time periods the brand name “Grosvenor” was used both by Charatan and Sasieni. Nevertheless neither from the pipe’s nomenclature nor from it’s shape we can say definitely that the pipe belongs to one of these…

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”.
