Hello there,
Just got this BBB and I like it very much.
Never seen a BBB in this shape before.
Any help getting it dated is appreciated.
Thanks

At 456 grams, this pipe may be illegal in many states.

It's basically a Jobey made by Weber. I saw that in a lot on the bay and was curious, that must be it. Didn't BBB have pipes made by LHS too? I forget. Not many if so.
I sincerely doubt that BBB would put the stamp OWN MAKE, which was expressly designed to indicate those made in their London shop, and source it from elsewhere.
OWN MAKE meant done by BBB from beginning to end.

I still think it was made in the USA and even has the EXTRA stamp used on Jobey pipes. Does it say expressly Made In England?

This is where I saw that BBB exist made in USA:

At the beginning, BBB produces two qualities. One, BBB Own Make, other pipes being simply estampillées BBB. Own Make in fact were produced in London (Reject pipes cuts year R stamped one them.), whereas the simple BBB were imported, and this, to the paddle of the 20th century.

No sir… enjoy them all you want, but just not a shape for me.

I have a buddy who lives a county over from me whobreeds, raises and sells Tennessee mules. Quite a lucrative hobby, considering what they sell for.
I‘ve seen way more donkey nuts at his farm than I care for, and I have no appetite for letting anything even closely resembling that ever getting near to my pie-hole! 😆

But enjoy— different strokes and all that, and definitely a unique design for a pipe.

I think I’ll let Falcons and Kirsten pipes be the outer rings of my design limits. 😉

And I don’t like chocolate.
So what’s the point….

“Any Love for the Boer Shape?” is the question right in The name of the thread.

I read the entire thread, I made my statement, beginning with the phrase “Enjoy them all you want…”
You made yours. We have different aesthetic tastes. That is all.

Enjoy your Boers. The fact that I don’t care for them simply means that there’s more for those who do.

Am I missing something, or are differences of opinion not permitted in this thread?
