Denmark, 1970s

The pipe was most probably made in 1970s. There were many legendary pipe carvers working for W.O. Larsen and it’s usually difficult to say who exactly made a specific pipe. In this case we can guess that our today’s pipe was made by Jess Chonowitch, you can compare with other his pipes and agree or disagree. Regardless its creator it’s a wonderful W.O. Larsen pipe and it will be both a pearl in your collection and a great and reliable smoker!

The pipe markings are “W.Ø.LARSEN \ HANDMADE \ MADE IN DENMARK”. The length is 14.5 cm, bowl’s hight is 5.3 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 4.3 cm and 2.1 cm. The depth is 3.8 cm and this pipe weights 39 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1950s One of very high grade Charatans pipes made before Lane era, most probably in the 1950s. Charatan’s admirers know the highest grade was the “Supreme”.

England, 1950-70s A fantastic creature of the Alfred era Sasieni! Despite the extreme popularity of the rusticated Sasieni pipes this freehand convinces undoubtedly that Sasieni was equally great in smooth finishes and among classical shapes they were absolutely successfull and “natural” in free forms.
