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.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

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?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.

This is where I saw that BBB exist made in USA:
BBB Made By L&H Stern Co? :: British Pipes
Here is a BBB that was possibly made by LHS. I hope the BBB collectors chime in with any information. There are too many similarities to just be coincidence. Besides the fact that LHS pipes are great burners, the scarce information and mystery surrounding L&H Stern piques my curiosity of this...pipesmagazine.com
