I recently bought (eBay) a nice medium size bulldog: "Bowler made in London England" + "S.S.Pierce Co." "4". I can find lots of info re S.S. Pierce Company in Boston. I can't find anything about WHO might have made this pipe, the age, sizes/shapes, etc. Any info would be appreciated.
Bowler Bulldog - S.S. Pierce Co.??

If I'm not mistaken, that's a Comoy's private label. Once cleaned up, that should be one sharp little pipe!
How did you get that photo? I did an eBay search on "Bowler made in London England" and came up with a list of bowler hats, and this one pipe.
THAT's the pipe, Cap'n! I saw the integrity in the posted photo and I'm a sucker for the basic bulldog. Gonna be a fine smoker after the clean up. It hasn't been smoked a great deal - next to no chatter on the bit. Looks like it sat on a shelf for many years waiting for me to rescue it.
A picture of the nomenclature will seal the deal. Looks good from that photo. I haven't seen those names on Comoy's 2nds lines, so I'm curious.
SPC has had them before.

The SPC pipe lacks the "Bowler" reference (no pix, but their COM listing is pretty detailed).
By that, I don't think Bowler is part of the COM, but a shape name.
Is there a COM picure?
