Charatan`s Extra ?????
- Thread starter capitano
- Start date
Hello again everybody,
thanks to all again who assisted in february nicely to identify the CHARATAN EXTRA.
Just waiting for a little parcel with a dublin-shape charatan extra.
That will be my third little wonder.
Will post pictures on arrival.
Nevertheless there are other real good stories which sounds little bit like "Indiana Jones".
One of this is.....
Did anybody get the chance to "clean" a longtime closed tobacco-/ pipeshop ?
Crazy job like Klondike River, but I love it..
E.g. unsmoked Dunis and Charatans from the sixties... - orig. Dunhill tobacco (vaccum seems to be ok)
from Early Morning up to Virginia, Standard Mixture ......
Lovely Cesare, Savinellis, Butz, Peterson, Hilson.......
No idea what will be the next.
Will post picture and think about really good ideas, what to do...

You might also find some useful information in the Ken Barnes Posts section above the forum page. Ken trained at Charatan, which was managed by his father. He later went on to co-found James Upshall with Barry Jones, Charatan's head carver.
There are two pdf documents, one for Charatan and one for Upshall, which contain Ken's posts over a period of several years. There's a lot of information to be found there that is not duplicated anywhere else.
thanks a lot !
The third EXTRA just arrived.
Lovely pipe - stem stamped CP, but looks like acrylic which is at least approx. 40 years later than EXTRA should be made..... perhaps a replacement stem.

....perhaps You are little bit right, but most of all it should be a helpful hand to a very seldom treasure for these good pipe-guys, who are interested since about a year....
I just picked this “kinda ugly” Charatan Rarity up for 32 bucks. Interesting freehand shape that I have not seen anything quite like it referenced in the research. Any ideas? It definitely needs a restoration. 
Hi
I remember the rarity is a late line by charatan/lane formed by Lane in the middle sixties, when he decided the list of traditional grades to grow up (see articles and pipedia).
This corresponds with the "L" for Lane - due to the "L" I suppose date about 1965 - 1975 and style as the
british-charatan-answer to all the very popular upcoming danish freehands of that time.
Nice pipe !
With little bit mineral oil or wax it would be interesting to see the grain.
...by the way - last weekend I found twelve brandnew charatans "L" and a lot of same Ben Wades.....
