Call out to Comoy experts: Guildhall is a seconds label for Comoy. The Guildhall and Everyman seconds had 3 parallel metal bars embedded in the stem. Anyone know if and when the company used the 3 piece "C" on the seconds?
:D
I had a 3 piece C Comoy's Guildhall. The Guildhall was an actual Comoy's line for a time. These were different from the Guildhall pipes Made by Comoy's.
That's correct, there was a line Guildhall, with Comoy's stamping and the 3 pc C.
There was a seconds line called "The Guildhall" with no Comoy's stamping, which includes the 3 metal slats on the stem. Those have plasticky, pre-molded stems.
Here's another Guildhall that sold last year. I don't see them very often. I think that I made an offer on this one that was rejected. ($58 and needing restoration seemed too high for me)
