British Tobacconist’s Brand Pipes.

[RustiePyles CPG]

Let’s see those British house brand pipes, Singleton & Cole, Carrington, Salmon & Gluckstein, AGE, etc. Many of these tobacconists had their own factories, some had pipes made by other well known factories in GB and France.

Here’s a 1920 A.G.E. EXTRA made by Salmon & Gluckstein.

Here’s a true magnum Singleton & Cole LC type shown with a group 4ish Comoy’s Grand Slam for reference.

Nice magnum.

Here's a W.C. Carrington that has the 'WHC' stamp, and the assurance that their pipes are hallmarked, yet it has no date hallmark. My assumption is that it is pre-1891, as they were definitely date-hallmarking their Chester pipes by then - see 1891 W.H. Carrington bog oak below (shown with amber p-lip stem I plan on having fitted to it, as slit-bit bone tenon stem is 1920's, not original to pipe).

That Carrington Bog Oak is outstanding!

Thanks. It was a stunning surprise when I spotted it on ebay, as I have only ever seen the standard billiard shapes. It had cracks on both ends of the bowl, but they closed up perfectly. Danish Oil and B&A balm brought it back to life.

I have had the amber p-lip stem waiting for a pipe for several years, so this is going to really be great when completed.

I'm surprised there’s not more action in this thread. I’m going to try to do my part by adding these to my eBay searches.

I've always been on the lookout for a Churchill's of Norwich pipe. I bought my first ever pipe from them, but it was an unbranded basket pipe. It was a wonderful, old-fashioned tobacconist that sadly closed down after I left Norwich to go to university. The indoor smoking ban combined with a lease renewal put a stop to it. Keith Garrard (who may have even been the chap I bought my pipe from) sadly passed away a couple of years later, and I never met him. He was a well-loved member of the Pipe Club of Norfolk and some UK members here may have met him at previous UK Pipe Shows and competitions.

On a side note, the name of the shop had nothing to do with Winston Churchill. It was so named simply because it was at the bottom of a hill, opposite a church.

Absolutely stunning pipes

J Barber Tobacconist UK has their B Grade pipes ,very nice ones and smoke very well,although many of those are on the smaller side+ stem material is obviously second grade vulcanite and stem finishing may leave something to be desired

You sods. Just as I thought I was content, this. Now I have to start searching for a Fribourg & Treyer pipe.

I visited their quaint bow-fronted shop in Haymarket in the 1970s and bought a packet of their deluxe king size filter cigarettes, made with pinstripe paper, which came in a grey hinged cardboard packet. Also a little tube of mentholated snuff. The cigarettes were strong and to this day, the only ones to have given me a whitey - stronger than the old Capstan Full Strength, and that's saying something. Happy days!

Here are a couple I own and I have probably got others. The meerschaum is sort of self explanatory and I have no idea how old it is as I don't really smoke it that often. The Brit wood pipe is from Inderwicks and it says Carnaby Street on the shank along with the letters 'R 2' and was purchased by me in 1985/86.

I love that Weingott meer! I used to walk past their old shop quite often while working in London.

It has its moments. I really don't know how I got it or why. I have smoked it quite a few times but it has to have a 'Philt' pad in it or you burn your tongue.
