You don't see too much about Allen & Wright.
They had some great advertising...

Fascinating as usual, Troy. Thanks again.

Like the ad said way back then, "It's all in the wood". Great find and beautiful pipes!

Troy... Just love you Brother for the stuff you post and the effort you put in to it! Ya ever need any tobacco blends in my cellar, yours at no CHARGE. Small price to pay for the entertainment value...

I had never heard of this maker. Those "Hand Cut" stems look first rate.

misterlowercase, You are once more proving your title is well deserved.

Remembering Troy's old post, I couldn't resist this when it came up:

ssjones · Feb 21, 2017

That is in great shape!

klause · Feb 21, 2017

Thanks, Al.
Yes! It looks to be in need of a good clean, only.
It's actually a shape 39, as in the pics above - although the shape number is on the underside of the shank near the bowl. It also has the name, "Mentor" stamped on it.

Oh, my, Picadilly St and Arcade! What a haven that used to be for pipe stores!!

Pretty sweet find. It's somewhat rare to find pipes that are identifiably from that era, but lack (hallmarked) silver bands. Very cool.
