    Not a pipe that I bought, but one of the nicest examples of Charatan's shape 58, the Newmarket, that I've ever seen!

    PipeDan Straight Grain

    Last weekend a seller had some rare old (early 1960's) PipeDan pipes. I bought three of the four I bid on. Here is the first one. Without yet having the pipe in hand, I would guess it was made by Sven Knudsen, or Gert Holbek, or on an outside chance an early pipe by Preben Holm. Going by the...

    MR. ANDERSEN

    Well here's a blast from my collecting past, two pipes marked Mr. Andersen I bought in ~ 2012, and found in a box, in pipe socks, last night. There was quite a mystery as to who made these Danish pipes. The current pipedia entry is the results of several emails and calls to Mike Gluker, Marty...

    W.O. Larsen Shape 107

    My other new W.O. Larsen pipe. Listed as a lot, with a "Make an Offer" option, I did, and the deal was done! A very nice, later example of the Sven Knudsen designed shape 107. Pipe is in excellent condition, "Barely Smoked" or "Minty" in ebay parlance; I can still see the original bowl...

    W.O. Larsen Pearl

    A pipe I bought in mid March. The Pearl grade was the highest grade for W.O. Larsen Straight Grain pipes. I feel fairly confident it's a pipe by Tonni Nielsen. ebay pics, and finished up late last night, The flash shows the ding on the right hand side, but in real life, to the naked eye...

    Larsen Copenhagen 120 Straight Grain 7

    Just a beautiful old Larsen, the iconic Sven Knudsen 120 shape. Straight Grain 7! In the auction pictues I thought it was a 1. It's definitely a 7. I also looked at pictures of other Straight Grains from the period, definitely not a 1. From Larsen collector Rob Cooper, "The first period...

    What's With All These 504 Errors?

    Got it again last night, and again in the last ten minutes. 504 Gateway Timeout. I should say, I'm in NY just north of NYC.

    Larsen Copenhagen Selected Grain 114

    A Larsen smooth shape 114, restoration by Cook's Fine Pipe Works. This is an older Sven Knudsen catalog shape, likely made by Sven, or Former in the early 1960's. I think the Selected Grain marking is the oldest of the markings that became Selected, and later Select. Very close to the actual...

    Comoy's Extraordinaire 100

    This pipe came back to me yesterday, a Comoy's post-war shape 100. Not as large as the 804 (Length 6", height 2 1/8"), listed in the Comoy's shape list as "Billiard 1/2 bend XL", so I would guess Dunhill 120 in size. Note the arched Comoy's Extraordinaire mark (the same as seen on pre-war...

    Larsen Handicraft De Luxe

    A pipe from the golden age, a true Danish chimney. It is what would be listed in the 1961-'62 catalog as shape 105. It is however, looking at the markings particularly the use of HANDICRAFT, an older pipe from the mid to late 1950's, before Larsen set up its in house shop run by Sven Knudsen. I...

    Larsen Copenhagen Special

    Barling Ye Olde Wood Special 3386

    It's always nice when you find out that you have bought a pipe on ebay from another forum member. Peter (fluffie666) contacted me after the auction ended. Barling Special 3386, a Flat Prince shape, with grain that caused it to be graded a Special, and a "natural" finish. A post-transition...

    Peterson's Dublin & London

    A recent purchase, before and after. The lighter color in the after pictures is due to the exposure. Pipe is still in the UK, but I will have it here soon. Pipe dates to the period 1910-1915/16. Seller was in Buckfastleigh, Devon. Interestingly, on Buckfastleigh, I found this, Restoration...

    JOHN COTTON 47 7 Frederick St Edinburgh Scotland Saddle Billiard

    So, a question for the pipe detectives, who made this pipe? John Cotton obviously made tobaccos, but my assumption is this pipe was made by one of the English (or maybe it would be more politic to say British) pipe companies as a private label. Looking at it, on first impressions, I would RULE...

    Roseberry Extra - Comoy's?

    Looking for some opinions on this one. Roseberry Extra. My first impression, going by the Made in England COM mark, is that this is a pre-war Comoy's made pipe. I can't find any reference to Roseberry as specifically being a Comoy's, so any help on that would be appreciated. The other thing...
