NORDING Danmark 318

NORDING Danmark 318

Denmark

Once upon a time there was an engineer. He lived in  in the city of Copenhagen where all natives seem to born to play cubes in a father’s workshop, to try a pipe carved by father, and then to carve a pipe even better. So we can consider that the further biography of Eric Nording was predetermined. And even timid feeble efforts to go in engineers were complicated firstly by a maniacal hobby, and then by full devotion to briar.

Nowadays Eric Nording is nominated as “Hemingway of pipes” and the father of 50 000 beauties annually, 90% of which are dedicated for export. However our today’s example is much older and most probably was intended for the local Danish market. So there is a chance to feel yourself the Dane!

The pipe markings are “NORDING \ DANMARK \ 318”. The length is 13.3 cm, bowl’s hight is 5.0 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.1 cm and 2.2 cm. The depth is 4.0 cm and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.
