Are Charatan reg. numbers of any use in determining the manufacturing date of a pipe? Is there any archive where these numbers can be researched? Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

There are archives, they're just not specific to the company
They're UK, and can be searched with a bit of patience and experience
But all they'll tell you is the year of registration, not year of production
So you'll have the start date of a range, but the end date will require other indicators

This is a Lane Era pipe and based on nomenclature probably manufactured between '62 and '65. But a web search didn't produce anything on Reg. #s.
