I just got this pipe in yesterday from an ebay auction. It's a Parker Super Briar Bark 108/F. It's one of the dated pipes with an underlined 7 designating it as a 1957 vintage. It's a very light pipe. The blast is very deep and craggy. It has a good quality ebonite fishtail stem. It measures in at 6.25" long. It is an excellent smoking pipe and my new favorite.

A classy classic in fact. Now what will you smoke in it? Looks like it would handle flakes pretty well.

That's a handsome variation on the Canadian, especially distinctive because of the slightly canted bowl. I think Parker makes a good pipe even today.

Had some Irish Flake and some 3Ps in it. Really good. Seems like I can smoke anything at all in it and it will taste great.

xrundog:
Congratulations on your acquisition! I love the Shell-style finish, the color, and the slight forward cant to the bowl. My guess is that the long shank yields a cool smoke.
May this pipe be a treasured companion through the years.

Great looking pipe! Is the Fishtail like a Dunhill? I love those bits. In fact, I won't buy an estate Dunhill without the F/T anymore....... spoiled on them I guess.. :roll:

Here's to many great smokes in that one!!

Similar but not the same. The Parker stems are a bit thicker at the bit.
