Palm Pipe 2

England

One of the mysterious pipes with the palm (hand) logo on the stem (it still visible on this pipe, but it’s a bit faded already). Our investigation brought us to the McGahey tobacconist in Exeter, UK. Some of such “palm” pipes were created or repaired by their carver and stamped with this logo. Unfortunately we still don’t know the name of this talented master.

The length is 13.4 cm (5.28″), bowl’s height is 4.9 cm (1.93″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.54″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.9″). The depth is 3.8 cm (1.5″) and this pipe weights 47 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England We didn’t find any hint who could make this pipe. Some sources mention Comoy’s London Tower pipes although the stamping font on this pipe is noticeably different to Comoys. The shape and the sandblasted surface are reminiscent of Orlik creatures, such as Captain Black. But it’s just a remark. Pipe markings “LONDON TOWER \…

England A very nice English poker pipe from West Sussex. There’s no much information on this brand name, the most probably it was one of numerous English tobacconists, who ordered pipes from large manufacturers. Anyway, this is a live stylish English classic!

OXFORD De Luxe unsmoked
August 28, 2019October 1, 2022
England This unsmoked pipe became a subject of a special investigation. Many more and less known manufacturers applied the “Oxford” stamping on their pipes: Wilczak & Colwell mention S. MC Lardy, Sasieni, J. Redman, Hall & Fitzgerald, Carrington, Orlik and even GBD! Pipephil (the greatest and highly respected pipe expert) places Oxford on the Hardcastle’s…
