CHARATANS MAKE Distinction Giant
England, 1960-70s The largest Charatan’s pipe we have ever offered! This giant high grade Distinction was made in the “Second Lane era (1965-76), the period of the brightest blossoming of this brand, delightful shapes and grains, which eclipsed all others pipe makers including Dunhill. There’s no shape number on the pipe, thus it was made…
CHARATAN’S MAKE 30120 Reject
England, 1960-70s The shape and dimensions ideally fit Lane era Charatan’s 30120 shape, we have sold such the Charatan’s Make Belvedere 30120 recently. The grain says it has to be at least a great middle grade pipe – Perfection or Special, but the pipe was stamped as a “Reject” because of a few very small…
CHARATAN’S MAKE Perfection 4148DC unsmoked
England, 1960-70s The Charatan’s pipe of a quite rare series: the Perfection grade was introduced during the “second Lane era”, 1965-1976 and followed the highly popular and respected Special grade, though production of Perfection pipes seemed to be rather occasional than regular. The grain is contrast and clear, the shape is traditional for Lane era…
CHARATAN’S MAKE Distinction De Luxe
England, 1960-70s A really unique high grade Charatan’s pipe! The De Luxe grade was actually one of the family-era series and it wasn’t stamped onto Lane era Charatan’s pipes. The Distinction grade belongs already to the Lane period, more specificly – “the second Lane era” (1965-76) in this case, the stamping “MADE BY HAND” proofs…
CHARATAN’S MAKE Special 489DC unsmoked
England, 1960-70s A very nice finding – unsmoked Charatan’s Special pipe from the 1960-70s. Moreover it’s the 489 shape which is on our opinion one the most successful and recognizable. We have already represented this Charatan’s model in smoked condition as well as the Bewlay pipe of the same shape made by Charatan’s.
CHARATAN’S MAKE Executive Extra Large
England, 1960s A Charatan’s pipe of “the second Lane era” (1965-76), the period of the brightest blossoming of this brand, delightful shapes and grains, which eclipsed all others pipe makers including Dunhill.

CHARATAN’S MAKE Selected FH bent
England A higher grade Charatan’s pipe made in the 1960s, “Lane era” – the most famous period in the company’s history. Unlike many other Charatan pipes of that times this sample is very close to the classical bent shape, but with a touch of artisans creativity. And of course the grain is almost perfectly straight…
CHARATAN’S MAKE Selected diamond shank
England, 1960s An amazing example of the Lane era Charatan’s very high grade pipes art. That’s not yet an incredibly huge creature specific for the Charatan’s late 1960s, but the pipe has at the same time almost no conservative family era traits, thus we would date this fine piece of art by the middle of…
CHARATAN’S Make Belvedere 30120
England, 1960-70s A Charatan’s pipe from the “Lane era” (1960 – middle 1970s), the period of the brightest blossoming of this brand, delightful shapes and grains, which eclipsed all others pipe makers including Dunhill. Obviously Charatan’s pipes should have got either double comfort (DC) or saddle stems. But it’s the canadian pipe from the Lane…
