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.

ALBOURN SMITH Straight Grain

England A very nice English poker pipe from West Sussex. There’s no much information on this brand name, the most probably it was one of numerous English tobacconists, who ordered pipes from large manufacturers. Anyway, this is a live stylish English classic!

England An absolutely convincing large & heavy English bent pipe. Such the stamping (MADE IN LONDON \ ENGLAND) was used by many great makers including Parker-Hardcastle and Orlik, we don’t have a convincing proof of the specific pipe manufacturer.

England Thanks to the knowledgeable community of the Pipes Magazine forum the story of Abraham Taylor’s family business is presented quite clearly, although it is evident that the general outline does not differ much from the stories of other Jewish immigrants, such as the Bewleys or the Sasieni. The Taylors arrived in the United Kingdom…

England, 1946-67 Like many other companies Hardcastle was a traditional family pipe business. In 1946 Alfred Dunhill bought the shares turning Hardcastle into a 100% Dunhill subsidiary. But untill 1967 family management of the company retained a certain independence. This pipe was made most probably between 1946 and 1967: the stamping is still arched but…

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…
