dmcmtk, the beveled or concave rim of this One Dot on ebay in England caught my eye, since it is quite similar to my mystery pipe. You had previously mentioned that it wasn’t something you associated with Sasieni.

Craig, something about this pipe is hinkey. First of all I would NEVER buy a colletable English pipe from Italy, but that's just me. This pipe has been offered before...

What's up with that slightly bent stem? The patent is from 1925, so the seller's dating is wrong. A European One Dot...?

That slightly rounded over inner rim can be seen on Sasieni pot shapes, Moorgate and Smallgate.
Also a good reference

I see what you mean about the wonky stem. That 1930s catalogue you shared on imgur is fantastic! Only one shape looks similar to my pipe -- the Lancashire. The taper of the stem is different and the only one I've found with dimensions provided was much smaller than my pipe, which would be a Dunhill group 6 or ODA-sized pipe. I'm sure I'll never have an answer. There are too few clues. But, it's fun to speculate. In any case, I enjoy the pipe. The rest is just for fun.
Interesting that you mention the Moorgate shape. I have added one to my own collection since originally creating this thread. I guess being a pot and rusticated, I didn't make any association with my pseudo-One Dot.
Thanks for your help!
