DR GRABOW Starfire 84

DR. GRABOW Starfire 84

$48.00

An American classic from the 1950s, the era of rock’n’roll, big beautiful cars with loud radio receivers (is the series name a hint on the Oldsmobile Starfire? :-)​ ) and the blossoming of many American pipe brands. Nevertheless, this Dr. Grabow’s Starfire with its wire carved finish can’t be confused with any other pipe from that time.

A pipe from the oldest and the most famous Ukranian manufacturer: the company was founded as a “Veresk” (Briar) cooperative during the Soviet times and first pipes were made of different kinds of fruit wood: cherry, pear, peach, apricot. Production of briar (Italian briar) pipe started in the early 1990s when political changes allowed import of burls from Toscana. A really good sample of craftsmanship – great briar, nice classical cross-cut grain, skillfully turned shape! Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below

DUNHILL Red Bark 114, 1972
DUNHILL Red Bark 114, 1972
Red Bark is perhaps the best-known and valued Dunhill series among other “retired”. The Red Bark pipes were produced not for a long time – from 1972 to 1987, and in fact, they are traditional sandblasted Dunhills, but smokers and collectors are still attracted by these pipes and their unusual staining. By the way, the color was also a subject of experiments – some years Red Barks were brighter, later – darker again. And this pipe is one of the first, made in 1972!

DUNHILL Bruyere 33
DUNHILL Bruyere 33, 1935-52
This Dunhill pipe came to us with the noticeably chewed mouthpiece and very faint nomenclature, and of course it was hardly possible to make it clearer, the challenge was to save at least a few more or less visible symbols during the restoration. So you may need very bright light and a good magnifying glass to read the shape number 33 and DUNHILL above BRUYERE on the left side and “(2) A”, “PAT…..4” on the right side. The pipe is also equipped with  an inner tube, the end of it is a bit smashed , but we saved the stamping “…417574”.  Fortunately there were only a few patents registered by Dunhill with the last number “4” – the best known are 417574 (1935-1942) and 417574/34 (1942-52), so we may be sure the pipe is from the period of 1935-52.

W.Ø. LARSEN Port 84
The W.Ø. Larsen Port pipes are relatively affordable and they were made already during the 1980-90s, when the company tried to enter a mass market. Due to its unique shape the pipe sits in a hand very comfortably and naturally. A wonderful example! Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
