Can you ID this pipe?

[fasteddie]

Bought 50 Pipes from a Yard sale and some i can't find a maker. Can anyone help or give some insight?

 

[logandow]

A picture or two would help.

Have more to follow.

If it's not working you can always just use links until you get it down.

If there are marks on the stems or briar it would help if you took a picture of that.

The first one reminds me of a Nording free hand. As for the second can we get a better look at the mark on the stem please.

 

[photoman13]

Looks to me like a cheaper Nording or a carve it yourself kit. But it doesn't have any markings there might not be a way to tell.

 

[logandow]

I don't know, the stem on top of the first one doesn't look like a carve your own stem.

This one is hard to read but i think it says...anthony on one side of stem and _olvand California. Any ideas?

 

[photoman13]

Looks like a clay pipe but I have no idea.

 

[fasteddie]

This on says Old Molkum. Any ideas on quality?

 

[photoman13]

Here is a website that you can determine brand by markings.
Once you know brands here is a website that tells more about them.

Here is alink to better known markings . http://pipephil.eu/index.html oops someome beat me too it .

The Old Mokum is a double walled clay and a pretty good pipe (I have one myself). The first pipe is either a circa 1970's Freehand, or a pipe made to look like one. The clay would be interesting if it says California, if it is I imagine its just somebody with a pipe mold set up in the garage. I dont know of any large companies making clays there.

 

[photoman13]

That last one is pretty cool. I have never heard of that before.

The first one, like photoman said, looks to me like a carve it yourself, but the stem on those kits, don't look like that?? could be a replacement stem?

The lines and the bottom doesn't seem like it would be carved by someone with experience??? IMHO!
