Good evening ladies and gents,
I ran across a pipe today that caught my eye. It just looked good. It was stamped W E Bryant Southampton and sported a circle on the stem. I almost bought it but was unfamiliar with the make. I assumed it was made for a pipe shop, said W E Bryant Southampton. The circle on the stem was familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on what company it stood for. I left the shop without it. Checking the internet this evening, I see reference to Orlik pipes made for W E Bryant Southampton. I'll be heading back to pick that baby up.
Does anyone have any information about this shop? And perhaps what time period the shop was in business? Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. Appreciate any info you can provide.
Cheers
