The Guildhall London Pipe 5

August 10, 2013February 24, 2019

England, 1950-70s

This is the sister of our represented below Guildhall’s apple. The same time, the same manufacturer, the same excellent quality of a briar, the same three shining aluminium stripes. We had a bit more efforts for the mouthpiece restoration and the repair point is slightly remarcable. Therefore our generall score will be, say, 4.9.

The pipe markings are “The Guildhall London Pipe”, “Made in London England” and “5”. The lenghts is 14.3 cm, bowl’s hight is 5.0 cm. External and internal diameters of this bowl are 3.0 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 4.0 cm and this pipe weights 30 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The overall score is 4.9.
