I Would Like To Make You Aware, Of My New Pair Mayfair (pics)

[pipingruotsi]

These two soon-to-be beauties arrived in the mail yesterday! A pair of Mayfair. IIRC, Mayfair is a Sasieni second, which has me very excited to clean them up and see how they smoke. I was surprised to see that they both are non-removable stinger stems. I will post more pics once they are cleaned up.

Good looking pipes, they should clean up nice!

Very nice. Love the grain on the lovat. Can't wait to see 'em after you give 'em the once over.

Great find and congrats on your score!

Nice finds! I really like the first one.

I hate to rain on anyone's parade, I really do, and I'm not trying to be snarky, but the Sasieni Mayfair pipes are marked: Sasieni

Mayfair

London Made
with either a -S-, a S within a sheild, or a M on the stem. When you see Imported Briar on a pipe it is usually from North America.

dmcmtk, that's good to know. Regardless of who made them, they used good wood and lots of it. The walls are thick and the grain is nice and free of fills.

In that case, could someone identify this logo please?

 

[voorhees]

Maybe from this line..they had variations of the crown logo

hmmm, looks close, but not quite right. I looked at all the crowns there and didn't find it....

Thanks for the link, though. I was looking for that earlier and couldn't find it

 

[voorhees]

Yeah they are off a little. Good luck, I have a pipe that I still cannot find anything on.

Good score, can't wait to see them cleaned up.

You have a pair of beauties - be sure to post the "after" shots!

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Great stuff. Show some pics when they are restored.

 

[pipingruotsi]

Well, it took awhile to get around to, but they are cleaned up now. Both smoke pretty well. The bulldog's draw is just a little tighter than what I would like, but not too bad.

Those look Great. Excellent Job. Thanks for posting...I love to see estates come back to life!

 

[kashmir]

Outstanding restorations there! Congrats on a fine pair.

Don't care where they were made. Nice hunks of briar in grand old traditional shapes. You've buffed them

up to perfection. Puff on.

 

[petes03]

Wow, they turned out great! I especially like the bulldog! Congrats on a great job!

Wow! Nice job. With those thick walls, and stubby profile, those will make some great outdoor pipes! Love the traditional designs.
