Short little video, interesting to see the Wills factory in Glasgow.

Thanks ! Great video ... Love the white lab coats ! Instead of a forum member Fez, Kevin should make up Forum Member white lab coat smoking jackets !!

P.S. Any idea what pipe the tobacco farmer was smoking ? I don't normally like straights but I think that one I'd get ... ???

Not sure, think it could be a Brentford (Falcon).Here’s another fun little video, showing both falcons & Charatan factories. Think it’s a young Barry Jones on the lathe.

Good guess on the Brentwood ... hard to tell as direct sunlight is on the shank. I thought at first it looked like a cob but knew it wouldn't have been. The bowl is darker than the shank.

I hadn’t seen that one, thanks for posting it!
The Pathé site is great, only trouble is you can go from one old reel to another, for hours & hours, there’s so much good content on there.
Here’s one of the latest ones I’ve been watching, one of a fascinating series, narrated by old Basil Rathbone.
