Gifted a Lot of Pipes...

[craig61a]

A friend of mine sent me a lot of old pipes. No hidden treasures, but some are interesting.

Probably the best of the lot is this Blasted Long Canadian. Looks an awful lot like a Sasieni “Canadian”; the only marking is a circle COM stamp, Made In England. I’m aware of the circle COMs on Peterson’s, unfamiliar with it on any other makers pipes. Should be nice I get it refurbished.

I would't say Sasieni. The COM reminds me of the COM used by Loewe...

Nice!

Always nice to get pipes in the mail. Are they all estates?

 

[weezell]

Nice...

 

[donjgiles]

Yes, I agree Loewe.

That’s entirely possible. I only mentioned Sasieni since I have a Sasieni “Canadian”, and they look exactly the same.

Either way it's a beauty! Enjoy!

Looks like a nice one. Gotta love a long black one!

Once purchased from a retailer, a pipe falls into the estate category if they are smoked or not.

Same Made In England stamp. Yes. Loewe.

Well, I guess that settles that... ?

Some Imperial pipes had that stamping too.

Yes, they are. No idea how he came about them. He just messaged me and said he was moving, and asked if I’d be interested in them. So I said sure...

Another one I pulled from the pile. A 1933-1937 Linkman’s Dr Grabow. A little scrub, topped, reamed, sanded.

The nomenclature was real thin. And it had a Kaywoodie stem on it. Not fitted well, and it was 180 degrees out. Reindexed the stem, filed/sanded to make the shank/stem transition smooth.

Needs more work, but it should smoke well. A Frankenstein pipe... Do I call it a Kay-bow, or a Grab-woodie...?

That's true, I should have asked if any were unsmoked.
