First PAD in Five Years….

[Ahi Ka]

Me too. I’m pretty sure the box is a late addition.

Definitely…now if you need a pre-68 Loewe to go in your box I happen to know a guy down under about to sell one. He’s a bit of an arsehole but I’m sure you could sweet talk him into a good deal. Lol

I’m not sure who the encircled C.L&Co mark in the shank is for but it reminds me of how London Pipe Co. did Loewe “imitation” stampings

I'm hoping somebody can ID the SH silver mark.

Check this out. I read it when I looked at the (now pruss’) bulldog listing

Vintage Bulldogs :: British Pipes

As they arrived this afternoon: A soapy Sponge, 3 Minutes and 27 seconds later, we have something quite magnificent: Two unsmoked, horn stemmed, silver banded Bulldogs dated 1898. I'll leave the whimsical amongst you to create the story. I'm speechless (Huzzar! I hear you cry).

I couldn’t pass on this one. Too much good with it. That Kriswell tomahawk that was passed in yesterday was a good buy too.

It was hard not to pull the trigger on that old Rad that was posted a month ago. Don’t tell Harris that someone down here is selling one, or he’ll be on a plane tomorrow.

— Pruss

Nice score on your pipe. I hope it smokes great for you. No worries about the Rad, it could have been one that I recently sold. I know, no one ever thought I would sell a Rad but I just hadn't been smoking it much and I went on a Jack Howell bender for 13 commissioned pipes.

How about I sell him a box, and then the two of us have a coffee together: what with us being the only two pipe collectors in Aotearoa.

Who, even, are you?

Peck would be disappointed, God rest his soul.

Fuck peck and the horse he rode in on. I think he traded all his pipes and tobacco for Pokiman cards.

I have it on good authority he has yet another Parks commission underway.

smh

Smart man. He would have tripled his money by now.

Also the rad in question was that tiny squat tomato from 2013 I showed you a while back. You told me to either spend the money on a Howell or get a different rad

So… essentially a store stamp on the sterling.

Jon, does this jive? SH on the band referring to Salamon and Hecht?

They were also pipe manufacturers (if it’s the same SH). Maybe they just “made” or mounted/assembled the pipe for whoever is stamped on the shank

Yep. I’ve seen that before on pipes of the same era; notably BBBs.

There's a difference in the SH. Mine doesn't have initials or is in a frame with a striated background like the Salamon and Hecht stamps.

Yeah, Jim, agreed on the difference. Your pipes markings and those on my pipe are the same.

I still think it’s likely that they are the initials of the silversmith, or perhaps the retailer.

Probably so. Wish we could learn more than that.

Maybe if the shop had a signature blend you could pick up the ghost in the briar ?

Fantastic pipe.

I did. They were New Zealand Lamb Slices!

Beautiful!
