The Guildhall London Pipe 164

June 20, 2013February 24, 2019

England, 1950-70s

There was a legend about a white spot, which was made out of a whole elephant. That is why all pipes with the white spot are so expensive. Perhaps these three aluminium stripes on Guildhall pipes were made from German bombers which were shot-down over London. And as far as there were no lack of damaged bombers Guildhall pipes were sold for quite acceptable price.

But let’s stop joking! We are proud to present this wonderful and comfortable Comoy’s made Guildhall apple from 1950-s. It’s in a great condition, the shape is excellent. The pipe can “sit” on a desk and promise many years of tasty and relaxing smoking.

The markings are “The Guildhall London Pipe”, “Made in London England” and “164B”. The pipe is 13.2 cm long, 3.8 cm tall and weights 25 gr. The bowl’s external diameter is 2.8 cm, inner – 2.0 cm, inner depth – 3.3 cm. Briar, vulcanite stem, 9 mm filter.

England Smoking process -if it goes correctly – is slow and almost static. Therefore probably “the animal subject” in marking of pipes is very moderate and conservative. There’s of course such extreme shape as a “cobra” (very effectively implemented by Gasparini). There’s Falcon, there is a number of sparrows, roosters, geese and owls. You can…

England, 1950-70s This Comoy’s series was named most probably in honour of the famous Astors family known for its prominence in business, society, and politics in United States and the United Kingdom during the 19th and 20th centuries. John Jacob “Jack” Astor IV was the richest passenger aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912. Astor pipes…

England, 1950-70s Perhaps no other manufacturer did make more for the “canadians” development and propaganda than Comoy’s. Careful selection of briar, variety of thoughtful refined shapes, skilful work deserved the highest respect among smokers worldwide. As an example – our today’s 296th shape. The pipe of the very respectable “Tradition series” was made in 1950-70,…

COMOY’S Grand Slam Patent 36B

England, 1930s The history of smoking pipes at the beginning of XX century in USA can be described as “revelry of a modernism and innovations”. Let’s make a completely new type of a stinger! No, let’s add an additional camera into the chamber! No, let’s drill an additional channel in the stem, so we could clean…
