    Dating Charatan?

    Pre Lane is not pre lane. Lane markings were on Reuben era pipes. This one is Reuben era though.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I’m interested in boxes from 20s to 1980s and the respective sleeves used in them. I have not reviewed them! Could you point me in the right direction? I like also the sleuthing and historical factor involved. Example when the ole lady became queen and the writing that changed on the boxes.

    Sandblast Quality of Peterson PSB, Ashton LX, and Kai Nielsen Artisan

    Larsen. (Needs cleaned up). But the top of the bowl is rusticated and kind of takes away from it. Compared to American. My kid plays a game that has the character look for “Craggy Rock” and I had to explain what craggy means. I absolutely showed photos of pipes. Ahaha.
