An Old Comoy's Pipe

[durham270]

A recent acquisition is this Comoy's Blue Riband. I thought it to be a fairly unusual shape. Stamping faint but negligible.

Indeed, a very unusual shape. Shape number? Is it marked Made in London England, or Made in England?

Durham:
Those Comoy's Blue Riband burners are keepers, pal, and yours is just lovely.
You also have Ninja resto skills. What did it look like before these pix?
(My one and only BR was on life support until I sent it to Ejames and the ugly duckling became a swan - a flawed swan but still a swan nonetheless.)

Fnord, thanks! Yes this one will remian in my personal collection. This is the 'well seasoned' condition I received the pipe in. I do plan on trying a few of those 'Ninja' moves as you call them soon! :lol:

Sweet Pipe! I've had my eye on a few, yet to pull the trigger. That one you have is a gem-- Enjoy!!

Very nice looking smoker. I like those square shanks. I read some about Comoy pipes after looking at yours and see that the the Blue Riband mark is one of superiority, as well as is the Comoy name.
I received my first authentic Comoy in the mail yesterday. Not pic capable at this time. It's a beautiful oval shanked Canadian with an unusual 'cut ring' near the top of the bowl and is in exceptional condition. I don't see a Comoy's marking on the stem. The briar is a Crescent series, and ironically, it arrived from Montreal!

I think that is a very unique Blue Riband shape.

Do you mind if I move this to the British Pipes section? (perhaps it will catch Neill Archer Roans attention)

Very nice pipe. I really like the squared shank and stem. A wonderful find.

 

[elpfeife]

I, as well, really like the shape. That's one to be proud of.

That is a magnificent pipe and in wonderful condition
Do you know what year the pipe is manufactured?
It's weight?
Good luck with it

I belive it is shape 442, a square shanked dublin.

Handsome pipe, a keeper indeed. Looks like it will smoke really well. Nice balanced pipe too.
