Aristocrat is a very lucky name for a pipe. The most known are Aristocrats made by John Redman factory in London for export. USA makers did like this name too – Yello-Bole and WDC Aristocrats are still frequently met at online resources. But this time we are glad to represent an Aristocrat pipe made in St Claude, France, by Vuillard factory – a pleasant example of the really French way of the smoking pipe aristocratism!

The pipe markings are “Vuillard \ ARISTOCRAT”, “MADE IN FRANCE”. The length is 13.0 cm (5.12″), bowl’s height is 4.6 cm (1.81″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.3 cm (1.3″) and this pipe weights 48 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. There were a few small chips patched on the bowl.

France, unsmoked A nicely made (and still unsmoked!) French bent bulldog pipe made approximately in the last decades of the XX century. Some sources claim the “Lord Nelson” brand was made by Comoy’s in England but the lily logo on the stem indicates its French origin, the most probably Chacom or some other St Claude…

France Despite English pipes are usually the most collectable, valuated and respected and a number of the most famous brands are English brands, we shouldn’t forget that many of them have French origin or are related to France.
