The pipe made by Ian Walker, world-known by his splendid brand “Northern Briars” for the British pipe smoking championship in 2007 (“BPSC 07” on the shank).

Italy, unsmoked One of the famous incredibly long Savinelli pipes from the “Long John” series. It’s hardly possible to date the pipe precisely, the only thing we can say for sure: it’s an “after 1970” product: the shape number consists of three digids. And it seems the pipe was stored in the unsmoked condition at…

USA, 1960s Given that similar pipes were produced in England under the name Kaywoodie Chessman until the early 1970s, it’s reasonable to assume that this pipe also dates from the late 1950s to early 1970s.
