PARKER Super Bruyere 42/F

April 29, 2018December 21, 2018

England, 1950-60s

A stylish Parker pipe made in late 1950s or early 1960s, before merge with Hardcastle Pipe Ltd. It was the period, when Parker succesfully combined Dunhill’s resources and production facility and its own, at times very different from Dunhill’s approach to carving, shaping, finishing and marketing. Therefore both experienced pipe collectors and refined smokers highly evaluate these “Parkers”.

The pipe markings are “42/F”, “PARKER \ \ BRUYERE”, “MADE IN LONDON \ ENGLAND’, “(3)”. The length is 13.9 cm (5.47″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.1 cm (1.22″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.8 cm (1.5″) and this pipe weights 28 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

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.
