The history knows Ascot pipes produced in the UK by H. Perkins & Sons since early XX century. Also a brand with the same name was produced in France by La Bruyère (since 1932) and then – by Chacom. This timei it’s an Ascot series pipe made by German leading manufacturer – Vauen. The distinctive traits of the line are very thorough attention to finish and the special design of the saddle stem with the very short base.

The pipe markings are “Ascot \ VAUEN 411”. The length is 13.8 cm (5.43″), bowl’s hight is 5.3 cm (2.09″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.0 cm (1.57″) and this pipe weights 52 gr. Briar, acrylic stem, 9 mm filter. The pipe comes with a box (it’s stamped with a different shape number, but that’s a usual situation at tobacconists stores) with noticeable traces of long storage and a sleeve.

Ireland, 1945-75 Steve Laug published in his blog at rebornpipes a very deep and detailed investigation regarding Shamrock pipes. “There were two Shamrock lines—the Rogers Import U.S.-only line with the nickel band, and the Peterson unmounted line with a white “S” stamped on the mouthpiece.

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.

England, 1960-70s Like many other companies Hardcastle was a traditional family pipe business. In 1946 Alfred Dunhill bought the shares turning Hardcastle into a 100% Dunhill subsidiary.
