Denmark, 1970s

We have already represented a few very interesting, extremely elegant and a quite mysterious pipes made by Danish carver Peter Brakner. All of them were of the Antique series, well known and easily identified by inimitable skilfull microrustication.The secret of this technique has been lost unfortunatelly, therefore these pipes made long time ago in the 1970s are really highly valuable and collectable. And of course the poker pipe made by Peter Brakner is valuable and collectable especially!

The pipe markings are “BRAKNER ANTIQUE \ DENMARK”, “HAND-CUT. 135(?)”. The length is 13.9 cm (5.47″), bowl’s height is 4.9 cm (1.93″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.2 cm (1.26″) and this pipe weights 40 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1960-70s A really unique high grade Charatan’s pipe! The De Luxe grade was actually one of the family-era series and it wasn’t stamped onto Lane era Charatan’s pipes.

USA A poker pipe is close to a sandwich. Both pipe and sandwich were invented for card players to make the game more comfortable for gentlemen. Of course it would be interesting to look at the pipe for chess players, we suspect it should be something like the Charatan’s pot – our another today’s pipe.

England A wonderful cherrywood pipe from the Dunhill’s family! The brand Savory (Savory’s) was created in the 1885 and very soon was acquired by Dunhill. We were advised that it was a tobacconist located on the Agryll str. in London. Savory pipes were ones of the Dunhill seconds (similarly to Hardcastle, Parker, Masta) and have…
