Bewlay Dating and Maker

This is a tough one at least for me, i understand you can’t always identify the actual maker of some of these type of pipes but looking for some help.


Nomenclature/Marks
On shank : Bewlay [script], "STANDARD", MADE IN ENGLAND, 151
On stem : white 'B' on the side

Thanks in advance.
