Found At Local B&M

[BROBS]

Handmade Stanwell Regd
Canadian with Hand Cut stem not smoked too much.... stem will take some sanding though.

Great catch. Nice blast too.

 

[Bowie]

Nice one. I would’ve taken that one home, too.

Here it is all cleaned up. About to smoke some Kendal Flake. Will touch up the stem logo but need a new paint pen, mine got all shitty.

Awesome find! Thanks for sharing.

There are a few more gems tucked away at this B&M... I may pick up a mate for this one.

We have a B&M like that here in Florida. Every time I go there some stray follws me home. ?

Sweet score!

My B&M is a tad pricey but they’re great guys. Point being it’s hard to get out the door with a great deal on an estate for sale there. Continual haggling is ineffective and humorous. Not that that stops me.

Great looking pipe @BROBS.

Very nice find. I don't think I could have resisted that one either.

I didn’t haggle on this one for $40. Some are overpriced... there is a 1968 Dunhill Bruyere but the finish is all but gone with super oxidized stem only asking $195.
Also a tin of three nuns green is $25. I want to support the B&M but I’m not paying that.

I have been using a white Crayon, it seems a little easier to deal with for me.

That's a real gem. Pure class. When I saw your comment about sanding the stem, I didn't understand why. Thought the stem was meant to be that color. Lol. You did a great job cleaning it up.

What does the "reg'd" mean? I've seen that on estate listings as well. Is it a line if pipes ir does it refer to a certain era or something?

Here in CA, that's what all the tins go for after sales tax and tobacco taxes. It's kind of a bummer, but they also tend to have tins I can't score online, so I pay it. The only real exception is the Gawith tins, which are 17.95 before tax. Not that much more than many internet retailers. I do most of my buying online, but try to stop in once or twice a month or so.

Yes it means 1948-pre-1970 manufacture or so.
If the stem “S” has no crown it’s earlier in that range like 1950s.

ha. No the stem was nasty tan and funky.

Yeah this price was before sales tax so that would put it at $26.75 out the door. I can get two tins of three nuns green for that.
I don’t think it’s taxes in that case just high prices. However some of the estates are reasonable so I look for those.

$57 canadian for a tin of 3 nuns here.
Great blast on that pipe. Nice score

 

[BROBS]

Holy shit. Well if they outlaw internet sales I’ll pay the $25 ?

 

[scloyd]

Wow...looks good. Well done!

 

[AlabamaDan]

Great looking pipe. One day I hope to be able to recognize things Like that.

 

[Sitka]

Great find! Cleaned up well.
