REJECT London Made

England

A nicely made English pipe. The heavy bowled bent shape and cross cut grain look quite similar to Charatan’s products from 1960’s, but the pipe is just a beautiful item regardless its origin. And the dark spot on the bowl’s back doesn’t prevent a smoking pleasure.

The pipe markings are “REJECT \ LONDON MADE”. The length is 13.0 cm (5.19″), bowl’s height is 4.8 cm (1.89″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 2.2 cm (0.87″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weights 55 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat.

GBD (Flame Grain) Reject

England A rare, amazing and really lightly smoked example of GBD pipes art before the merge with Comoy’s. It’s difficult to say why the pipe was marked as a “Reject” – except a small darkening on the chamber’s bottom apparently there’s nothing.

England, 1950-70s This is a classic pipe indeed! Elegant, easy, almost not smoked Comoy’s bent from 1950s. The wood is healthy and singing, the grain is wonderful, the chamber is in an excellent condition, the stem is without any damages or issues. We only needed to polish and wax a bit to make it shining…

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…

Grosvenor London Made
May 8, 2013October 1, 2022
England This pipe is not so easy to identify as we may expect from a straight shape pipe. During different time periods the brand name “Grosvenor” was used both by Charatan and Sasieni. Nevertheless neither from the pipe’s nomenclature nor from it’s shape we can say definitely that the pipe belongs to one of these…

England, 1960s High titles, academic degrees, diplomas and medals are not necessary indicators of value and quality. Of course, it would be wrong to ignore all regalia too. But both people and pipes should be evaluated not only by clothes and marks.
