So I've been following another thread about a Comoy pipe that may have been stamped "Command Commission" on it, and it got me thinking about an old GBD pipe I had in the 1980s. It was an interesting shape and stamped Command Commission 1979/80 on the bottom. It was kind of an odd shaped poker, and I can't seem to remember anything about it or why it was stamped like that. But I remembered the unusual shape and got to poking around on the internet, and found a pipe on Worthpoint that looks just like the one I had.
Here's the pic I grabbed from that site that is poor quality, but shows the shape of the pipe nicely. The shape is 9665, and shows up from time to time on ebay.
Ok, now about the Kaywoodie connection. I knew I had a pipe shape that looked just like that, a Kaywoodie "Minerat", shape 103XL, Made in England. I can only assume that GBD made this pipe for Kaywoodie as it's not a common shape, as pictured here.
Any one got any thoughts about this? Or am I all wet... :crazy:
