Longshot.

[HRPufnstuf]

This pipe is unidentified and I am open to suggestions.

Its only markings are "London England" and centred below that "X".

My guess is a Brigham second, considering I bought it at Thomas Hinds in Winnipeg.



It smokes nicely, nonetheless.


Thanks, in advance.

looks like a wonderful basket pipe. Someone probably can say more. But if a pipe is wonderful and solidly good looking like that... In my opinion that's enough info.

It’s a nice basket - I don’t think it is a Brigham because they were (to the best of my knowledge) produced in Canada exclusively until the early 2000’s when production was moved to Italy

I thought Brigham was made in Canada until they moved production to Italy. I'd guess maybe a Britannia or Hardcastle second, but I'm only guessing.

Likely a Cadogen second of some sort. GBD, Comoy, etc.

 

[HRPufnstuf]

I admit to my own ignorance about Brigham, more humbling because I am Canadian. I do appreciate the insight , thank-you.

 

[HRPufnstuf]

I've been looking through some of your suggested manufacturers and the button and slit very much resemble those of Comoy. Quite a blocky bit.

Pre-Cadogan Comoys (with 3-part "C") had very comfortable, wide, flat bits

Likely a Cadogen second of some sort. GBD, Comoy, etc.

Did some serious looking at recent Cadogan group manufacturers, BBB seems most likely, they have a "Chelsea" bent billiard that is the spitting image of the pipe I own, down to the saddle stem and heavy bit.

I appreciate the encouragement to research this, I am more and more impressed by the knowledge shared in this forum. Thanks for all the input, everyone. It's by no means a definite identification but I am pleased, it is a second, after all.

Comoy OR... Parker - they marked a lot of stuff London England - Parker was owned by Dunhill.

 

[HRPufnstuf]

I should have mentioned, this pipe is not very old, I've had it less than five years and bought it new. Sorry, very important detail to neglect.

I suppose it could sit for years not distrbuted and sit for years in inventory, but I bought it about five years ago.

@HRPufnstuf , I can't identify the maker.

I appreciate you taking a look, thank-you.

Any time, man.
