"Old Royal" Tobacco Pipe

[pipertibbs]

Hi Folks,

I have a pipe marked "Old Royal" "Made in England". I have been unable to find any information on this pipe maker. I have a suspicion it is a "seconds" from one of the big Pipe factories in England at the time. Perhaps BBB?

Again making some assumptions. I have been unable to find anything on Pipedia or Pipephil on this manufacturer. It's a nice looking pipe!

Any stampings on the other side of the shank?

Just the number 9

I have a feeling that will clean up very nice. Sorry I can't help you with identification though.

Number 9 is an Orlik made Chubby Bent. I have one.
