Danish Oval Billiard Estate

[Grangerous]

Danish Oval Shanked Billiard Estate - WhiteStar 710

Symmetrical Flame ? Grained Beauty. My 4th purchase from the boys at BlueRoom Briars.

WhiteStar are seconds to Georg Jenson.

Guys, I’m building a stunningly beautiful rotation of pipes - and I don’t want to tell you how much (how little) I’ve paid because it could make grown men cry.

Stay Away from that Blue Room! Leave more for ME!

nice, doesnt that make it a Canadian?

A most handsome pipe. Terrific grain. That may be an oval shank, but it is the least oval I've seen, but is a distinguished design.

Very nice pipe. Hopefully you can enjoy it for a long time

No. Here are the specs. Same length and proportions as a classic Billiard. Longer shank, Oval.

Thanks. I’m finding that I’ve become a fan of Denmark estates. Didn’t plan to go this direction. Started in on the Peterson’s and Savs. But these old pipes by Stanwell and Jensen and others along with their subdivisions are quite nice. Great smokers. Great lookers.

How does it smoke? Have been intrigued by ova bowls for awhile but haven’t had one.

I’ll have to let you know. The draw feels good. But I have not smoked this one yet or any other like it. Received it just today.

Best of luck with it!

Technically, billiards have equal length bowl height to shank length. Once the shank length starts getting longer than the bowl high it becomes a Canadian with an oval shank. Round shank Canadian becomes a Lovat.

What absolutely a Lumberman?

 

[Mr.Mike]

Lovely!

I thought the rule of thumb is twice the height of the bowl. You can see that this pipe is less than 5 and a half inches. The shank is just longer than bowl height.

The pipe pictured above it is a typical, small, Classic Billiard. I think it’s a stretch to call this pipe a Canadian. Even the professional pipe men that listed it called it an Oval Billiard.

Clearly there's grey areas for everything and no real rules. People can call anything whatever they want really.

That’s true. You can say a dog has five legs if you call his tail a leg.

Looong shanks equate to what I’d call a Canadian. This is just another design spin aplied to a small Billiard.

The model is called a Bounty. A White Star 710 Bounty. Now I’ve got to research how the maker cateloged this model.

It never ends. ?

If the shank is longer than the height of the bowl, and the stem is shorter than the shank, it’s a Canadian.
it doesn’t matter that it’s small, Canadians come in all sizes. ?
