Brooks 699

[jackf]

Hi everybody. I'm Jack. I live in SW Florida and have been smoking pipes for years, but just got into restoring old pipes that just need some love. Just another way to enjoy the hobby!
I have a pipe that's stamped "Brooks 699" that I can't find anywhere. Seller thought they were ordered in the 40's when Brooks Bros were looking for a tobacco license to sell tobacco, and by extension pipes.
Has anybody heard of that pipe?

I found an ad for Brooks Brothers pipes they don't mention the maker for their shop pipes. They also offered Comoy pipes so draw whatever conclusion you may.

BBB had a 699 shape. Lovat with saddle stem. If that helps.

Cheers, lads. Gives me an idea of the provenance of the pipe. Will keep researching.
