May 26, 2021May 26, 2021

England, 1950-60s

A traditional English Parker pipe made approxymately between 1957 and 1967, 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 looks to be very lightl smoked and comes with the original (heavily used) box, pouch, pipe cleaners (they became yellow color after many years of storage, but so you may be sure thay are original :-)) and very useful guide for pipe smokers.

The pipe marking is “PARKER \ \ BRUYERE”, “5/F”,”MADE IN LONDON \ ENGLAND”. The length is 13.2 cm (5.2″), bowl’s height is 4.3 cm (1.69″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.4 cm (1.34″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.5 cm (1.38″) and this pipe weights 32 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, aluminium tube (stinger).

England We suspect that GBD was a pipe maker with the best protection against an industrial espionage. Hundreds of shapes (changed every year), production on both sides of the Channel, lack of accurate dating of pipes could dement any James Bond who attempted to steal even a trifling secret.

England, 1960-70s A very nice finding – unsmoked Charatan’s Special pipe from the 1960-70s. Moreover it’s the 489 shape which is on our opinion one the most successful and recognizable. We have already represented this Charatan’s model in smoked condition as well as the Bewlay pipe of the same shape made by Charatan’s.

England, 1970s The Londoner line was introduced already after the acquisition of the Barling family business by Imperial Tobacco.

Therefore our pipe is quite rare because it has been made still…

Ireland, 1970-80s The Dunmore series was produced in 1970-80s and represents in fact the same highly popular Peterson’s System design. But the shank is decorated with a nice carving instead of an nickel or a silver endcap. Now such Dunmore pipes are a rarity and cause much more collectors’ interest than “standard” Peterson’s Standard devices….

February 19, 2017December 30, 2018
England, 1950-60s A rare and collectable Parker pipe made in late 1950s or early 1960s! On one hand this pipe belongs to the famous Dunhill family, on the other hand in 1950s Parker was a unique “company in company” even with own separate supply and marketing policies. Therefore many pipe smokers and collectors do prefer…
