Over the years, I've been looking for a "Globe" and finally found one. Comoy's "Globe" shape resembles an apple, but is different in that it is rounder and the shank-bowl transition is generally more delicate. The Globe is an older Comoy shape. In the 1950s, the company transitioned to marketing apples since the shape was close and was more conventionally known in the United States market where most of the Blue Ribands went.
This Shape No. 164 is in fantastic condition. The grain emphasizes the Globe shape in a lovely way. And the pipe has a particularly luscious contrast stain.
