Guess The Pipe Maker (December 2019)...

[diamondback]

I’m terrible at this, but I love it and am learning a lot.

My weak-arsed guess is, I dunno, an early Nording ‘SON’? Though it looks newer... No harm in flinging out a WAG. lol

That's pretty much how I do it.

That's pretty much how I do it.

The more I learn, the more I realize I know nothing. I’ve felt like an idiot since college!

You will start to notice things, like stems on most English pipes taper down to a long thin reed almost. Italian and Danish pipes don't.

On this one, if you Google Celius freehand pipes, you will notice how the stemwork here on this one (where the stem meets the stummel) looks like most of the pipes made by Celius, whereas most Danish freehands have stems that look like they were just generic stems jammed in for no rhyme or reason.

Italian pipes have more contrast between thick and thin parts, whereas Danish pipes don't even care if they are symmetrical or not.

But, not all pipes fit the icon, so wild guessing helps too. But, things like this help me to notice these characteristics.

Thank you sir! That’s very informative.

Nice pipe!!

I bought it at an antique shop about a month after I started smoking a pipe. I think I might of paid too much. I paid $45...I was a new newbie and got excited when I saw it.
