Favorite bulldog models

I currently have only one bulldog, an old Jobey.
I have been eyeing the Peterson Dacula and the Irish Harp sandblasted (and a 408 as well).

Here is another well smoked friend

Il Duca. I’ve wanted on for a long time but everyone has escaped me.

 

[Pooh-Bah]

Granted that 2 isn't a very big sample size, but I haven't owned a bad Ropp (the age and horn stems appeal to me).
I like the shape, but apparently not enough to own more than one bulldog (other's a belge)

And I can confuse people by referring to it as a French Bulldog.

I have a Pete Dracula bulldog. Great smoker but the silver work isn't stellar. Based on when I purchased it, it was likely NOS from before/during the Laudisi acquisition.

Peterson Sherlock Holmes Squire

Falcon is an Option as well

That little Refbjerg on the bottom of the pic with the three dogs in it is just fantastic! If you ever want to sell it, please let me know.

If I could only have one bulldog, it would be the classic bulldog with a slight bend and a tapered stem with a silver band. Next, would come the Rhodesian with a similar slight bend. Woof.

Oh, Favorite Bulldog “ Model “
Sorry! Here it is.

My dream dog


I think it’s based on the Dunhill 5117.
Whatever, I LOVE it!

Keep an eye on SPC & SPC Eu
Several Ashton’s similar to that have dropped in the last year.
They recently had an Old Church with a killer yellow swirl vulcanite stem!

Thanks man.
I do love the look of this pipe specifically and this shape in general but I’m not a person that spends that kind of money on pipes. Unless I win the lottery, I will never own one of these. I do love my cobs, baskets, and factories though.

Manduela bulldogs for me

I love my Castello and older Dunhill bulldogs. Here’s the Castello:

Bulldogs (the dogs, that is) have large heads, a stout body and short legs
To me, the quintessential bulldogs are Peterson’s SH Squire and Hudson

The 1st cased Bulldog has 1911 Birmingham hallmarks

Stamped "VACHTSMAD" on the shank.
I have not been able to find any references on Pipedia nor Pipephil
Unfortunately it will remain a mystery, unless a wise head on the Forums has the answer

VATCHSMAD rings a bell, I've seen it before but not sure where. Could it be related to a tobacconist that sold the pipe?

If you can get him out of retirement, Jack Howell carved a gorgeous Bulldog.


Jose Rubio ain't bad either.
