My Stanwell

[uberam3rica]

I bought this from Jasongone. I wanted to show it to you guys and see if anyone has information on it. Underneath the word Stanwell, I think it says Reginald. But I'm not sure, It's really hard to make out. Anyone know anything about it?

Could it be "Registered" as in a reg. no.? That's my only thought.

 

[uberam3rica]

But I love the grain, the shape and the hand-cut stem

Thats exactly why I bought it. I think it looks awesome.

Could it be "Registered" as in a reg. no.? That's my only thought.

No. Theres definitely a N in there. Plus theres no numbers. I'm gonna see if I can find a magnifying glass.

 

[uberam3rica]

I looked at it under a magnifying glass. It's not Reginald, but I'm pretty sure it isn't registered either.

"Regd. No. 969-48" is common on older Stanwells -- I think it references the registration of their trademark (in '48?). Or maybe some dude named Reginald decided to write his name on his pipe. :lol:

Possibly. I can barely read it with a magnifying glass, and I have pretty good eye sight. I don't wear glasses or anything. I'll have to see if my dad has a stronger magnifying glass.

I have seen alot of Stanwell pipes lately while looking feverishly for a HCA and I can say I didn't see a single one that looks quite like that one.Has a very unique bowl shape I like that pop you have there alot has a real cool shape and look about it.How does it smoke?

Nice Stanny!!!
Pitchfork is probably right with the "Regd. No. 969-48", which is good for you because that puts your pipe in the primetime of Stanwell's golden years! More often than not, those old Regd.'s are very fine pipes!
It looks like a shape 09 designed by Sixten Ivarsson, or maybe a shape 90R,

yours got any model # stamping?

Nice Stanwell Ben! That is a really cool shape.

are very fine pipes!

It smokes like a dream. Best part is I got it from a guy on this forum for $15.

yours got any model # stamping?

If it does, I can't read it. I can read Stanwell, and then re is something underneath it.

That is a really cool shape.

I consider it a freehand, not sure what else to call it

"Regd. No. 969-48"

I think that might be it, but it looks like 966. I didn't see a dash with more numbers, it could be faded away. I also just noticed there is something else stamped on it, but I can only see the top half, and it's really faint.

You stole that thing at $15 let me know if you ever decide to get rid of it. ::

He also gave me an old Monarch. It has a patent number on it, and one of the members traced back to around 1936 I believe.

 

[ohiopuffer]

Well lets see a pic of that one too.

Well lets see a pic of that one too.

Here is the thread about the monarch
And here are some pictures:

Haven't had a Stanwell that wasn't a great smoker. Good score.
