Looking for info on a couple pipes

[deyro]

I'm looking for some more information on a couple estate pipes I have. I've been trying to find a KBB yello-bole bent billiard for a while and finally found one, but it's not like any others I've seen. It's says "filter brush' on it, and looks like it takes a medico filter. Anyone know when this might have been made?

I've also got a six-panel Orvis made by Elliot Nachtweiler. I can't find much on Orvis pipes or on Nachtweiler.

And I'm still looking for information on Bessai, if anyone knows anything.
Bessai info?
All that said, let me stave off the "worthless without photos" nonsense that overwhelmed that thread and say I will get some posted when I have the time, probably tomorrow or Monday.
Until then, Happy St. Patricks Day all. Slainte'

I belive that should be Elliot "Nachwalter", which might explain why you can't find any info:

He makes some nice pipes!

They've had estates as well, in the past, but didn't check today.
