Show Us Your Loewe Pipes
And here’s the 3rd. This is a ”Jarrow” model, one of the light-weights listed in the 1926 catalog for sure, and maybe others before, but alas, I am away from my Loewe packet right now to double check. There is no line of pipes listed either (Original, Centurion, etc) so that puts it in this...- mattia76

New Will Purdy Prince-Hawk
Hello Orlando Did you ask Will this yourself, about the drilling? I read his Pipes and Tobacco’s interview and one other one and could not find this info. From where did you get this info? -

Show Us Your Loewe Pipes
I have secured 3 more beloved Loewe pipes. 2 are here and one is on its way back from the refurbisher’s. The first is unmarked with name or series. That and the button lead me to put it somewhere in the 1920’s era. Looking at the 1910 catalog from the Loewe Packet, it is clearly a panel...- mattia76

Show Us Your Loewe Pipes
The MOLESWORTH is most likely pre-civic as well. You can tell if the mouthpiece is original by whether the button looks hand-made or not. Does the slot have smooth edges and a “rounder” bit than say, a Savinelli? Then it’s Pre-Civic. The Civic era usually has a logo that is more of a square...- mattia76

New Will Purdy Prince-Hawk
He’s still got another 4 years. Dang... It’s been a while. -
New Will Purdy Prince-Hawk
THANKS! I really dig how it looks. I haven’t seen a huge sample, but a lot of Will’s pipes look a bit too wild for my tastes. This one strikes a balance with a new take on the Prince shape. -
New Will Purdy Prince-Hawk
Hello everyone. I managed to cross one off the bucket list at the Chicago Show last weekend when I stumbled across a gentlemen named Craig at the Swap Tent on Friday who had a few unsmoked Will Purdy Pipes. This one immediately called to me, and the price was right, so there you have it. The... -
Possible Old Ben Wade Leeds Second “C. Smith”
Hello Gentlemen As the premier go-to forum for all things Ye Olde and Britwood, I submit this for your consideration. It is an old prince that came to me in a lot years ago. The stamped markings are C Smith LEEDS in a script that very much looks like the old Ben Wade Leeds script Stamps. I...- mattia76

Finally Collected a 7-Day Set of Loewe Pipes
YES! I met Mike at the Chicago show before and we gushed over Loewe pipes for a while. His site was by FAR the best info on them, some of which was better than the gathered material in the Loewe Packet. The only thing I really dig that are more rare are the Leed’s Ben Wades. I have ONE...- mattia76

Finally Collected a 7-Day Set of Loewe Pipes
I’ve been collecting Loewe pipes for a decade now. Any of you who are on the hunt with me know how hard they can be to find, especially the pre-1954 Haymarket era examples. I’ve let a couple of them go here and there, so this is the first time that I’ve had 7 at once. From the Top: -a...- mattia76
