I'm always confused by their dating guide and the variables, there often doesn't seem to be a concise/complete set of criteria on a piece.
Charatan's Make in block does look like early Lane.
It lacks the "Made by Hand" (block or script).
This guide, the best I've read, says that tapered stems were never used in this era.
So, I don't know.

That does seem to fit, but I'm not sure about the CP logo, it looks thicker than the example and the L stamp use was started in 1955 (according to that article).
Unfortunately, I'm not sure we have a Charatan expert here, it is one of the few British brands under-represented.

hi ken,
is that the original box? if so, the pipe dates from 1958-64. at any rate those are the years which list the panton address in the london phone directory.
also, is there anything else on the stamped on the stem? it ought to be a mite early for a reg number, but i'm curious anyway.
regards,
jon
