Run of the mill Comoy's aren't selling well these days, but this 50's era did well. The Old Bruyere line did continue into the 1970's.

I think Linwood was disappointed in this one. I'll hang onto mine, that's about $20 over the selling price. (Originally sold for $660 then got stiffed by the buyer)

Ah yes, I have a so very soft spot for these odd Brasenose pipes :)
Always liked the little brazen nosed guys and made quite a study of the their origin etc.
Meanwhile there are four of them in one of my trunks.
The first one was a much older , pre 1930 ,Comoy's Special I purchased from Mordechai Ezrati's widow Karen, very similar to the Comoy's depicted here. They are largish.
It came along with a very rare antique one, made from clay, or meerschaum, not really sure.
Mine has a brass band, the insert is porcelain.
The other two are briar with a silver band. All three of them were once sold by Oxford and Cambridge tobacconist and luxury goods retailer Colin Lunn. The design of the pipe was registered 1904.

This 9BC did a little better than I thought it would for its condition.
