Denmark, 1960s

Not every top rated candidate will be a president. Not every item with the number 1 is the oldest one. At the same time the age of a pipe is something like an age of wine: such a kind of a quality sign.

Our today’s pipe’s got at least two signs: the shape (number 01 is referring to Sixten
Ivarsson) and the trade mark number registered in 1948. The number has been used until the end of 1960s. So the pipe has come from the very nice and romantic period: high hairstyle, short skirts, young “Beatles” and most of people smoke tobacco, not something else.

The pipe markings are “STANWELL \ REGD N 969-48 \ HAND MADE \ DENMARK”, “01”. The length is 13.0 cm, bowl’s hight is 6.0 cm. External dimensions of the ream are 3,5 x 3,0 cm, internal diameter of the bowl is 2.0 cm. The depth is 3.0 cm and this pipe weights 38 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem (has been slightly corrected), no filter. The tobacco chamber is cleaned till wood.

Denmark A pipe of the exclusive series from Stanwell: the bowl is made in the calabash shape and completed with two stems: one standard lenght acrylic and one long made of vulcanite, so you may use it either as a “traditional” pipe or as an churchwarden. Great finding! The pipe comes with an original tube…

The registration number 969-48 was obtained by the company in 1948, and Stanwell pipes were marked with it until the early 1970s. At the same time, the crowned S on the mouthpiece appeared around 1960, so the pipe can be safely…

Denmark, 1960s An absolutely convincing and collectable large Stanwell chimney pipe from the registration era (1948 – early 1970s). The crowned “S” on the stem was introduced around 1960 so the pipe can be dated by the 1960s.

Denmark, 1960-70s The early Poul Hansen pipes did look strange if not odd. Actually he came to pipe carving from machine and tool making and among he’s very much valued and respected customers were great pipe brands like Pibe-Dan, W.Ø. Larsen and others. And it seems it was not only a good business for him,…
