is that a EB WB hallmark or are my eyes deceiving me.Either way a good price

Brumfit's used to be in High Holborn in London and sold scientific instruments and all sorts of Victorian type scientific gizmo's like Wimshurst machines. I never knew they made pipes but I remember the shop with all the Victorian/Edwardian cabinets and boxes of beautifully cased dissection tools. Having a pipe section does not surprise me.

No Paul, your eyes are not decieving you.
The Barling's manufactured silver mounts for so many tobacconists.

Apperently the brand survived in name, the pipes are widely available as basket pipes and some show really decent graining. "John Brumfit Great British Classics", aka "Make Britain Great Again ".

I dont think they ever MADE pipes but sold ones made for them with their shop name on them

That’s right. Great British Classics…….made in Italy! Lol
I had two of them. Decent tasting ‘virgin like’ briar, comfy stems & lots of fills. Good basket pipes.

Junk drawer find on eBay. Buy fist, ask questions later. Glad it wasn't a Brigham --couldn't tell from the photos.

The box belonged to someones great grandfather. I'll need to find out who he was. He seemed to care about the pipes he smoked.

Being an eight dot I would imagine that he didn’t buy it as a beater

Congrats; superb,stunning grain on this beauty.
Good job on polishing the stem.

Nice snag! Eight Dots aren't a higher grade than four dots. It was a marketing decision for the US market. By drilling through and inserting the dots on either side, Sasieni's distinctive logo could be viewed from any angle with the hope that others would become interested in buying Sasieni pipes.

It was Memorial Day this past Monday here in the United States. À propos, the Sasieni's owner was Anson Angus Merrick Sr, born 2 Mar 1886 and deceased 5 Nov 1962 (aged 76); he was a "graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy, class of 1909. ... [and veteran of the] U. S. Army Spanish American War and World War I .." What an interesting person, a man of a different era. The pipe is all the more a treasure knowing it belonged to him. I attempt, whenever possible, to discover who the previous owner of a pipe may have been and although more often than not it is fruitless, in this case it bore a pleasant surprise. Angus's box of dusty old pipes is a treasure indeed.
