    Dr. Alan Harrelson Visits Chesterton’s in Steubenville, Ohio

    Far too much non-pipe related content for me, and the pipe related content there is doesn’t offer much for the experienced smoker/collector. And yeah, I don’t know if the accent is real or not, but it’s uh………well, it’s something hahahaha.

    How to differentiate Astley pipes made by Charatan, by Dunhill or by Ashton?

    As far as I know shaping (of stummel, stem, and bit) and style are about all you have to go on. I do know some of the ones made by Les Wood (of Ferndown fame) do have his usual “LJS” stamped on the silver adornments though, FWIW. There are almost certainly many folks here with more Astley’s...

    More or less, yeah. I believe the “peewit” shape was originally a Sixten Ivarsson creation, I’m sure the name probably originates from what he must have dubbed it at the time. Don’t know for sure though! I’m sure some Danish nerds, or people for more historically knowledgeable than I can...
