Grand Slam Patent Pending 331 Bulldog

[donjgiles]

Reinforced tenon and shank.
Wish I could find the proper sized leather washer for a "complete" pipe.

You're killing me Don. Great find! Love those bulldogs

 

[donjgiles]

Thank you Sir.

 

[Bengel]

This one I would have to think twice about if it cost a left nut

 

[Bengel]

How does she smoke?

 

[diamondback]

My God look at that grain!!! ???

Beautiful!

Do you think I overpaid at $50.00?

 

[Bengel]

That is better than a left nut!

 

[cigrmaster]

Very nice classic. I hope it smokes great for you.

What size washer does it take?

What size washer does it take?

*2
So I am assuming a # 2 washer
Do you have a source for these?

 

[SpookedPiper]

Come on man! This is just too much! Awesomeness in a bulldog!

No source, I have some *5 and was going to send you one if it was a match.

You’re on a roll! Getting my own PAD worked up again!

You Sir, are very kind. Thank you for thinking of me. I appreciate that.

 

[Sonorisis]

Beautiful pipe!!!! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Comoy's are usually rather tricky to date but the stamping on this one helps us narrow down the time frame.
I believe the Grand Slam patent was applied for in 1933, the patent was granted in 1935. Since this example is stamped Patent Pending I think it is safe to assume that this is a 1933 / 1934 pipe.

Great grab! What exactly is a leather washer for a pipe?

In the very last image you see the stinger.
The very front of that stinger is a slot, to unscrew the front of the stinger. Directly behind that is where the leather washer would be installed. I will see if I can find the patent drawing.

The yellow indicates where the leather washer would be.

Very cool! I had never even heard of such a thing.
