Just purchased estate pipe - really like the style - rustic with 1/4 bent stem. Embossed with "London Tower, Made in London England". Can someone tell me manufacturer name? A bit of information? Surprising how little my internet searches are bringing up. Thank you.

I love history and some day hope to obtain a very old pipe. I'm clueless and have nothing to offer but can't wait to see how this unfolds!

That shape and overall style sure is similar to one of my Dunhill pipes but the nomenclature is most certainly not Dunhill.

Could you also snap a couple pictures of the button and a close up of the tenon with the stem removed? That might help.

Nice looking prince though!

Comoy had pipes stamped as ‘London Tower’.

Hmm ?

I had found this as well - however no similarity. Thanks!

Did you just buy this on a eBay?


This looks like the same pipe, as listed from Comoy.

Yes - Ebay recently. It was listed as Comoy - however I am having a hard time verifying ...

The similarity is the wording ‘London Tower’ stamped on the side. ;)

I wasn’t referring to the shapes.

Well, since SPC listed a Comoy with ‘London Tower’ and eBay as well, it’s looking like a Comoy for the moment. ?

@Roscoe Lawhead when you take pictures always include the Com and and any stampings. It really helps identify any pipe. It looks like a Comoy second. 337 or so prince shape. Nice pipe

Right - I was surprised at the lack of information (none) available concerning the London Tower designation. When purchased, the scrip did state very little information was available. That sparked my interest as well.

Well, mystery solved. Comoy’s, even seconds, are good quality smokers and hopefully you will get many good years from it. Enjoy.
