Frankau's "Fireproofed" #429 Short Bulldog - Made in England

[Humblepipe]

Steve (@Humblepipe),

Glad that little fella is growing on you

What I’d like to know is if you have added any other bulldogs to your kennel ?

I started with one some years back.
And somehow ended with over 40
I’m trying very hard these past few days not to give in to adding yet another one to the brood

I understand the "Fireproofed" line for Frankau was not a top line, but man this little Bulldog has impressed me over time. It smokes every bit as well as anything else I own... It's actually one of my smaller pipes (I favor larger pipes). Here is the only other two Bulldogs I own. @ashdigger hooked me up with these beauties. They not only look gorgeous, they are top-shelf smokers as well. Hallmark letters are difficult to read, London... probably right around turn of the century. I am definitely interested in adding more Bulldogs to my collection!

That's as pretty a pair of cased bulldogs as I've ever seen. Outstanding!

Thanks, Fletch! Just confirmed the make-date on these as 1913.
