A Few New Estates With A Question

[aquadoc]

I acquired these 2 estates:

1. A Kriswill Golden Clipper. It smokes well and I am getting used to the flat sides of the bowl. Straight-flame grain around the bowl. BTW, what is the origin of pipes with these flat sides?

2. A Brakner made Henley Sport. This is an incredible smoker and it is tiny. Easily my lightest pipe. Very narrow bowl. But, I have searched for history on this one and find that the Henley sport is not a Brakner "named" pipe but another piper said that these were made by him for ?? A pipe that looks exactly like this one is in his 1961 catalog. Anyone know these pipes?

The flat sections or otherwise sometimes polished sections on a sandblast is a danish thing. I always figured it’s where they expect you to hold it?

I suppose that makes sense. It is an odd aesthetic.

Not sure if they still make it but a Stanwell Vario (I think?) sort of plays off the look coined by Danish Handmades.

I thought it was where you could get your pipe monogrammed if you wanted.

May I be judged by the company I keep, Bill

The 4-Square or Panel Billiard is old and English.
