My pipe is marked PIPE DREAMS

newbroom · Aug 20, 2014

I have an old briar pipe marked PIPE DREAMS. Nothing else appears anywhere...no briar indications, no country of origin, nada.

It is a finely crafted, obviously briar bowl and medium shank with a curved stem. This pipe is wonderful. It's light yet has a nice large chamber. The briar seems to have some 'factory fill' in some minor spots. I'm wondering if this is some manufacturer's 'seconds' line?

Has anyone ever seen or heard of a pipe with this mark?

I wonder if it's a "basket pipe" with the store name stamped on it?

I haven't a clue. I do know that it's a fine light briar w/o any 'briar' markings.

is it prophetic, all your dreams go up in smoke?

I will take an educated guess that it's from a Candian pipe store that used to operate in a few provinces called "Knudsen's Pipe dreams". I have one of them and it says pipe dreams on it but Knudsen's above it so it's probably a basket pipe. I need a new stem for mine, but it has the same briar described.

Who Made That Pipe

has an entry for PIPE DREAM, which was made by Marxman Pipes. No PIPE DREAMS, though.
