Maison Marvin - Sasieni?

[mau1]

Good day gents,
Can anyone enlighten me on a pipe stamped Maison Marvin Made in London, England. I've looked around the internet and found very little. Supposedly a Sasieni second but I see only speculation on that.
Thanks!

Mau, Sasieni made pipes for shops, humans and anyone who wanted to do business with them. The number of Sasieni "seconds" is like rounding pi. I have a Sasieni second branded "Atwood" that is closer in craftsmanship to a Sasieni first, than some of my Sasieni firsts!!

Ash, thanks for that. I have an offer in on the pipe just because I liked the look. I discounted the stamping but was curious as there was so little information to be found.

I just looked at a completed ebay sale, and I would say not made by Sasieni. The most reliable "tell" would be a shape number.

Thanks Dave. If and when I get the pipe, I'll look it over closely and provide a pic.

Due to a Worthpoint sale of a Maison Marvin a while ago I'm inclined to believe it's an authentic Sasieni, although not necessarily a product of the Family Era. This one looks like a Moorgate...
