Asking For More Help on Pipe IDs.

This one is a Derby Natural Grain billiard. Any ideas who made it and perhaps when it was made?

This is a West End Morecambe 115. Any ideas who made it and when?

The Derby is perhaps a Loewe before 1967?

 

[aquadoc]

Eric Morecambe was a well-known British comedian and pipesmoker. And the West End of Morecambe had a few pipe shops back in the day and a number of "play houses" where Morecambe might have performed. I am sure none of this is relevant but here it is.....

A Loewe Derby:





The "Derby" stamp is at least reasonably similar.

Don't know if this helps any but found this under Derby.
-
Derby is a British label recognizable by its

logo engraved on the pipe in the shape of . It would appear that they were produced in Italy at the request of Comoy, who merely distributed them.

And the Made in London England is somewhat consistent with the Comoy's.

I have a Sasieni "Derby", but I didn't think the one I posted is a Sasieni because "Sasieni" is not stamped on it. Am I wrong?

 

[shanez]

I can't make it out but it looks like there is writing below "Derby".

Here is your pic with a little enhancement. You can definitely see a "N" below and to the left if you zoom in a bit.



Try examining the area with a loupe or magnifying glass.

Looks like NATURAL.

Natural Grain. The font seems to match a couple Comoy's I saw at Pipedia.

I also have this same Derby pipe, but the shank cracked the first time I took it apart for pre-cleaning as soon as I got it. ?

My best guess would be a Derby line Oldenkott... or the sub brand.
And have look at the Derby -England entry above the Derby Oldenkott sub brand entry.

The Derby-England pipe logo is the closest I have seen, although the font for "Made in England" isn't quite the same as mine or even the "Derby" on that same pipe. That may well be the one.

Looks like it will make a half way decent "beater" pipe...Apparently "DERBY" was a somewhat popular stamping, as it would seem a number of manufacturers stamped their pipes with that.

Any ideas about who made this pipe?

 

[snagstangl]

Does either have stinger? Or a unique stem in any way?

I also attribute, maybe to much, the "Made In London" over "ENGLAND" as a probably Charatan made.

No stinger. I thought about Charatan for the same reason, but in later years, Comoy's did the same thing.
