Just wanted to share an update...I got an inlaw to dig around (seeing as they live in MA, I thought maybe they could find something up there, maybe from someone in a local smokeshop who might take extra special interest in local pipe history) and what I got back was that these Marlborough pipes are seconds from a bigger manufacturer, and the fellow she talked to said he believes that these are Sasieni seconds. Still have not found concrete evidence of this, but if anyone knows of a way to trace there the company seconds go and what names they might sell under, might be able to confirm or refute this. Either way, I'll be watching for these Marlborough pipes, cause this was a big win to me!
