Denmark Erik Nording is not only a great pipe maker (as well as the production manager and pipe seller of course :-)) but also a very enthusiastic hunter. Therefore every year since 1995 he produces a pipe inspired by a wild animal under the common name “Hunter pipes”. With help of Danish artist Mogens Andersen…
England, 1960s An exquisite Charatan’s Make pipe of their best period (“Lane era”), i.e. late 1960s – early 1970s, when the glory of Charatan’s eclipsed all competitors, including Dunhill. Wonderful middle size lumberman pipe with the patented DC (“double comfort”) stem. Undoubtedly recommended!
England, 1960s An unique and fellow-less Charatan’s Make pipe of their best period (“Lane era”), i.e. late 1960s – early 1970s, when the glory of Charatan’s eclipsed all competitors, including Dunhill. The pipe of such the shape and grain could become “Supreme” or at least “Selected” grade. In this case briar block was too short…
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. George Walker from Duncan founded Northern briars, Peter Wilson…
Denmark A solid and comfortable Danish style billiard made by Erik Nørding company from Denmark. As an engineer, a blacksmith, a carver and a production manager, Erik found perhaps the best balance between production volumes and quality standards (unlike many other manufacturers). A wonderful example!
England, 1946-67 A nice and practical Hardcastle’s pipe from the early “”Dunhill” era of the Hardcastle’s history, it was born in the period from 1956 to 1967, i.e. at the time of a harmonious merge of “family” technologies and Dunhill management.
England, 1946-67 Argyle is obviously the Savory’s brand, but it seems that the pipe comes from the time, when both Savory and Hardcastle did belong to the Dunhill family and there were no objections to make a “Hardcastle’s Argyle”. This is really a nice pipe with a very stylish (Hardcastle’s) “weighted” bent shape and a…
England, 1930s A very good and well preserved pipe from the legendary Hardcastle’s family times, i.e. made before acquisition by Dunhill in 1946 (and the most likely before the WWII). Moderately smoked elegant classical English prince pipe! Sincerely recommended!
Ireland A pleasant lightly smoked Peterson pipe from the new (republic) era. The pipe was smoked only a few times and didn’t required too much effort for restoration and refreshing. Good addition to any collection!
Ireland, 1940s A “pre republic” era collectable Peterson pipe made most likely between 1945 and 1949, when the manufacturer returned old stamping “MADE IN IRELAND” on pipes. A pleasant lightweight bent with a deep distinct blast finish!
