Is this a Lumberman pipe?

[PApiper63]

Hello fellow pipers, I purchased this pipe for $10 at a local antique shop. I did some light restoration and am looking for some information. It is a billiard shape with a very long, oval shank with a short stem. It is surprisingly easy to clench and a great smoker.
This is the nomenclature on the pipe.

Is this considered a Lumberman? Do any of you have any experience with this brand/type of pipe? Just looking for any info I can get.

Oval shank with a saddle stem. Certainly looks like one.

Yup.
The softee bit really throws the lines off though…

Yeah..you are right about that

Yes. The saddle bit distinguishes it from a Canadian.

Yeah lose the softee bit. All of my Lumberman’s and Canadians have flat bottoms so they are also sitters but it is not a requirement for them, just a often incorporated nicety.

Alternatively, keep the softy bit. Smoke how you want and use whatever implements make it more enjoyable/comfortable.

Hard to tell from the pics, is the shank round or oval? If it’s round it’s a Lovat if it’s oval it’s a lumberman.
