Seeing so many nice new pipes on the forum produced a bit of PAD in me. However I needed to do it on the cheap so bid and won an estate pipe for less than 10 bucks on a famous auction site. Now as I await the arrival of my new acquisition I wonder if anyone can shed light on this mysterious Jarl Chieftan pipe.
There is scant information online. Apparently it was a one man operation from a small town in Denmark. There is a bit of mention of it here on the forums: Jarl Pipes The examples on that thread are much nicer looking than mine! Also this brief thread:jarl-pipe-whats-oil-hardened. There is also a very brief entry in pipedia: https://pipedia.org/wiki/Jarl
It still isn't clear to me what the "oil hardened" stamp indicates. I also don't know what years these were produced. Does anyone have this or any other information about these mysterious pipes?
Here are some photos from the site I bid on. A cheap pipe but nevertheless I look forward to cleaning it up and giving it a try.
