PREBEN HOLM Hand Cut 2

December 5, 2016January 3, 2019

Denmark, 1960s

A creature of young Preben Holm carved in the late 1960s, when his pipes were stamped with with the “Preben Holm” name and such grade numbers in a cirlce. At that time the artisan was not elder than 24 years and the era of fantastic success of his Danish Ben Wade pipes had to come very soon. A very elegant freehand pipe with the amazing plateau – a really collectable finding!

The pipe markings are “PREBEN HOLM \ Hand Cut \ COPENHAGEN \ DENMARK”, “(2)”. The length is 17.2 cm (6.77″), bowl’s height is 6.5 cm (2.56″). External dimesions of the bowl are 4.1 X 6.0 cm (1.61 x 2.36″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.0 cm (1.57″) and this pipe weights 45 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has normal smoked wear with some scratches and roughness but we didn’t identify any critical issues.

Denmark, 1970-80s A nicely made Danish freehand from Erik Nording. The pipe comes the most probably from the 1970-80 when his old grading system was applied (A to F and 1, 2, 3….). An exquisite middle size smooth freehand pipe with attractive distinct grain!
