GBD Sir Jeffrey 1264

[8404Doc]

I came across this pipe in a vintage shop and had to bring it home. I have not been able to find anything on the Sir Jeffrey 1264. Does anyone have an opinion on approximate age and where it was made? Thank you

Is it a small pipe? Sir Jeffrey Hudson was the "Queens Dwarf" in the 17th century a.k.a. Lord Minimus. Otherwise I know nothing of the line itself.

Sir Jeffery Amherst was the Lord Commander of British forces during the American Revolution.

It is 5.5 inches long. Very odd to not find anything about it.

The stamped stem indicates Cadogan era, approximately 1982 and later. They (GBD & Comoys) had so many new lines at that point, no more information is available for that era.

Thank you, I appreciate the info. I have been trying to find information about it for a while.

In the pre-Cadogan era, GBD issued. catalogs detailing their grades, finishes, shapes and prices. But I'm not aware of any catalogs issued after 1981

I assume you looked up GBD on pipedia.org??

Yes, there was nothing on Sir Jeffrey or 1264.

Unfortunately, there is exactly five sentences about Cadogan era lines. They haven't yet captured the interest of collectors and as mentioned, there is no factory literature that I'm aware of.
