Italy

A pleasant example of the Italian refinement, elegance and lightness: very nice lightweight small-sized billiard of the one of the most appreciated series from “Savinelli”.

The pipe markings are “SAVINELLI \ STRAIGHT GRAIN \ C2”, “105 \ ITALY”. The length is 15.4 cm (6.06″), bowl’s height is 3.7 cm (1.46″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.1 cm (1.22″), internal diameter is 1.7 cm (0.67″). The depth is 3.1 cm (1.22″) and this pipe weights 22 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The bowl had a couple of chips on the left side (from the smokers perspective) which were carefully patched but of course the trace is still visible.

Italy This large and attractive Capri Root pipe is stamped with the 4-digits shape number, so it’s the early (made before the 1970s) Savinelli creature. The Capri Root Briar is one of the most famous and recognisable series from that times – such a distinct rustication hardly can be confused for any other Savinelli line!

England, 1950-70s A fantastic creature of the Alfred era Sasieni! Despite the extreme popularity of the rusticated Sasieni pipes this freehand convinces undoubtedly that Sasieni was equally great in smooth finishes and among classical shapes they were absolutely successfull and “natural” in free forms.

England, 1960-70s G.W. Sims (just the modest G.W., though some consider that he was George) is known from the first half of the XX century, and the first pipes of the artisan (and at times a repairman) were marked even more modestly – “GWS”. According to some sources, G. W. used to work for Charatan’s…
