England, 1930-40s The series name, Jack O’London, and the marking BRITISH MADE transport us back to the distant, fairy-tale days when HARDCASTLE’S was still a family-run manufactory, and Alfred Dunhill, though gradually moving toward full ownership, had not yet influenced production or marketing. Here, we have an artifact of English culture from the 1930s and…
England, 1930s The stamping “BRITISH MADE” clearly indicates that this pipe was produced during the Hardcastle family’s ownership of the company, prior to Alfred Dunhill’s complete acquisition in 1948. Given that Hardcastle’s factory was unable to obtain briar during WWII, it is most likely that the pipe dates back to the 1930s. The tenon is…
England, 1930-40s A moderately smoked and well preserved Hardcastle’s family era pipe made before 1946 and very probably – before WWII (during the War the company was unable to obtain briar for production as many others English manufacturers).

England, 1930-40s A pre-Dunhill (Family era) Hardcastle’s Camden lovat made before 1946. It seems the life of this pipe wasn’t so easy so we had to involve a number of restoration techniques to revive and prepare it to a new start. But now it’s ready – an old, glorious and at the same time unpretentious…
England, 1930-40s An unsmoked Hardcastle’s pipe of the very popular and collectable “Jack O’London” trade mark made yet in pre-Dunhill “family era” times. And very probably – before 1946 and possibly before the World War II. A middle size classical English biliard which can sit on the desk. We preserved the original finish completely, though…
England, 1930-40s An unsmoked lightweight and highly traditional British (British made!) Hardcastle’s pipe from the family period in other words it has been made before 1946 and the most probably – in the 1930s. Highly recommended!
England, 1930-40s The pipe is a giant indeed! A creature of the family period Hardcastle’s carvers was made before acquisition of the company by Dunhill, very likely before 1946, and possibly – before the World War II. Despite its more than impressive dimensions the pipe looks fantasticly gracefully and stylish. A real English work of…
