Westminster pipes? Do they play chimes?

Anyway, welcome back.

I'm not familiar with Westminsters.

I looked it up in "Pipes - Artisans and Trademarks" and it said that it was a name used by various American and English makers.

If the stamp is circular with the words outlining the circumference, there's a good chance it is a Comoy subsidiary brand. Can't wait to see it.

Nice pipe. I have one labeled "Westminster" somewhere in my estate-yet-to-clean-box. I'll post some pics whenever I get to it (which will be several weeks from now).
I tried to do some research, but just like you I came up pretty empty handed. So can't help you any more either.
But good looking find ! :clap:

Very nice poker. Looks well-made, too. Never heard of Westminster, though.

Very nice looking pipe. Here's some information on Westminster Pipes, albeit not much. I believe yours is the one on the bottom. I can't really make out the stem stamp, though, so that's an assumption.
