    A Parisian Comoy

    A great job you've done on it. :puffy:

    Greetings! At 60, I've Decided to Indulge

    Welcome and what a great haul. Red Orlik is a favourite of mine and has been so since the mid-sixties and I'm surprised that SmokingPipes still have the Petersen-made 'Escudo'; these days it's being made by Scandinavian Tobacco Group. You might as well embrace it, as you can't fight it. :-)

    How Are Stanwell Pipes?

    I like Stanwells so much that I collect them; first and foremost reg. nos. from the fifties and sixties and then Sixten Ivarsson designs, but any Danish Stanwell will do as long as I like the shape and the finish. I am happy with each and every single one of them; even their seconds as...

    Found Some Nice Old Smokers

    Congratulations with a great haul. I've been looking for that Sixten Ivarsson Boat for several months, but so far, no luck. :puffy:

    Samuel Gawith Packaging

    We have the distasteful images and the idiot labels on cigarette packs here in Denmark as well. Up until some time last year, the idiot labels were removable on the Dunhill - and the McConnell tins, but now they're printed directly on the Dunhill tin labels. You can still peel them off...

    Samuel Gawith Packaging

    It seems that the cardbox box is mostly/solely used in the UK. Here in Denmark, we have the idiot labels put directly on the tin, as they have in Germany as well. So far, we have no distasteful images of gangrened toes or unborn children in ashtrays on the tobacco tins, but who knows for how...

    What Do You Know About This Dunhill Shape?

    This is from pipephil.eu, "C" stands for "Complementary", so you were right. Just disregard their typo. :-) A beautiful pipe. :puffy:

    Stanwell Golden ?? 17

    seaelf, here's the Brass Band version of a no. 17. If Basil Stevens is right, we have three different nos. 17. Or he made a typo and meant 'tapered stem'. This does look like a small billard with rounded rim. :puffy:

    Stanwell Golden ?? 17

    You're so right. I liked Stanwells since I bought my first ones in the early eighties, when I started to earn serious money. In March of last year I started to collect Danish-made Stanwells in earnest and it never stops. At least I hope not. :D :puffy:

    Stanwell Golden ?? 17

    Stanwell recycled some of their early shape numbers. Here's a stummel of a no. 17 from the early 1950s. The stem is rather short wit a slight bend. It looks neither like Basil Stevens' description of the no. 17 nor your no. 17. :puffy:

    Help With an Impossible Task....Maybe?

    Prince Albert, maybe. That's a good Burley tobacco. :puffy:

    Stanwell Golden ?? 17

    You're most welcome. Pipedia has several of the old Stanwell catalogues for download. Happy Easter to you too. (What's left of it, I am a little late in answering). :puffy:

    Stanwell Golden ?? 17

    You're most welcome. I just checked Basil Stevens' list and it says "17. Small Billard, rounded rim, saddle mouthpiece, by Sixten Ivarsson". Then again, in a catalogue from the nineties, the no. 17 looks like yours. :puffy:

    Stanwell Golden ?? 17

    It says "Golden Danish". A beautiful pipe you got there. I'd think it's from the late seventies, maybe from the eighties. :puffy:
