Updating the History of Sasieni Pipes and Their Subsidiary Brands
Thanks for the kind words. This was a labor of love that I was able to do because I was recovering from two knee replacement surgeries and because of the kindness of the several very knowledgable British pipe collectors, especially Jon and Jesse, who provided me with lots of sources. I have...- Stonemonk

Updating the History of Sasieni Pipes and Their Subsidiary Brands
There is a new article on Sasieni Pipes on Pipedia that I wrote with the assistance of Jon Guss and Jesse SIlver. Al Jones and James McNally also contributed. I would like to introduce it to the Pipes Magazine Community. It is a work in progress...there are still more answers to get from the...- Stonemonk

Help ID a Sasieni
If it's not too late to enter this discussion, I think that, as someone said in an earlier post, this very closely resembles the Old England Rustic pipe with a military mount. I first saw this Old England pipe that cloesly resenbles yours in an ad in the journal "Tobacco" from October 1972...- Stonemonk

Sasieni Date / Patent Clarification
Hello Pipe Brothers, I am working on the history of Sasieni's, and I have quite a few sources of information from some of you, for which I am very grateful. But I haven't really asked all of you for help. I have a pretty good range of catalogs and pamphlets from 1923-1965, and I have the... -
Please Help Me Find The Comprehensive Sasieni Shape Chart
Actually, only the first half of the chart that the Bard posted is currently on the Sasieni page. Bard: Do you have the catalog that goes with it? If so, please send it, as I am writing a new history of Sasieni and their subsidiary brands. The price table you posted is very helpful, but the... -
Sasieni Date / Patent Clarification
Thanks to all of you for this interesting discussion. I think that Bayarea's pipe has to be an anomaly made, as some of you have suggested, by fitting a post-1960 Smallgate bowl to a pre-1947 patent no 150221/2 stem from an original Smallgate bowl. Probably, as some of you suggest, it was done... -
Sasieni Date / Patent Clarification
Congratulations on selling the pipe to someone who "understood the patent date and time period." But what does that mean? What is it that he understood? I'm interested in the history of Sasieni's and the contrast remains between the ending of the copyright date of 150221/2 in 1947 and the... -
Sasieni Date / Patent Clarification
Dear Sable, How do you explain the contrast between the 1960 Patent for the Ruff-Root finish and the 1946 or 1947 date for the ending of the 150221/2 patent? Further checking the Smokingpipes "description" doesn't help at all. Their range of 1946-79 could mean the pipe was made after 1960. So... -
Charatan Question
That is a beautiful pipe! Well...Have most of you seen the Russian article on Charatans that shows up online from time to time? I have a rather rough Google Translate (I think) version I can share if there is interest. In that article, the author states that the use of the term and the mark FH...- Stonemonk

Charatan Question
Thanks for this. It's so interesting. Sorry, but what is the RTDA almanac? This is so interesting because of the expansion of models compared to the 1951 catalogue. It also differs from the "Choose a Charatan" ad on Pipedia, which is undated but must be a bit later because it's added the...- Stonemonk

Charatan Question
Thank you Lemuel. I will do my best to make sense of it all. I have been down in these caves for a few days now but have to come to ground soon. Cheers- Stonemonk

Charatan Question
Looks like I once had the article by Tad Gage but the link I have is now blocked. Does anybody have a valid PDF or link to one they can share? Thanks in advance.- Stonemonk
