Pretty cool stuff, Neal. Awesome comparison, love the Asteriou. Prince is one of my absolute favorite shapes. I have 10 or so, at least. I am not the photog you are, by any stretch, but here is my 1928 Shell Double Patent. Looking forward to smoking it on its 100th.

That’s a great pipe Frank! Love the history. The old Dunhill Shell Princes are truly wonderful specimens.

What a fine pairing.

That’s a great pipe Frank! Love the history. The old Dunhill Shell Princes are truly wonderful specimens.

That they are! I have a 73 Red Bark prince that isn’t too shabby either. Other than a mint 67 104 Bruyere I have that 28 is my fave Dunhill though. Mostly because of the history. Turns out its the year Alfred retired. That was a total coincidence, added bonus

that 19 is a real looker though. As is the Asteriou. I will never tire of envying your collection, haha.

What a wonderful examples of princeshapes, I'm speechless now,

 

[scloyd]

Wow! Those are beautiful.

For the record, I was informed that the Dunhill Prince was likely from 1921 vs 1919. I was likely told an incorrect date. I love the wealth of knowledge in the pipe community. See article here and the 1921 reference.

Chris is really nailing those classic shapes.

This one, a Comoy's 303 is quickly becoming a favorite.

Search is still on for a 1919?

Absolutely stunning pipes. Love the photography, as well. Grade A stuff ?

I've owned other Princes, but for me the lines of the Loewe are the best of them all

 

[donjgiles]

I believe Loewe is credited with developing the Prince shape.
And, I agree with you!

Here's my one and only, lonely Prince. GBD, from Kramer's (r.i.p.) shop in Beverly Hills.

The Asteriou spigot is supreme!

I've owned a few prince shapes over the years, but currently only have one. This one was made by Bob Hayes and is great smoking pipe. Sadly Bob passed away a short time ago I believe.

Pipes and composition is absolutely stunning.
Would be great as a framed poster on the wall!
