Pipe ID - Billiard w/ Ring Stem Stamp

[bluegrassbrian]

This one recently came to a friend in a group. Only nomenclature on the wood is:

2 1930

Couldn't find a similar ring/circle /O stem insignia on pipephil. The ring is actually a metal inlay.
Anyone recognize it?

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Bump.
It's a New Years mystery!

 

[BROBS]

Could it be a really old Orlik?

 

[mortonbriar]

It could even just be someone has heated up a jump ring in their workshop and pressed it into the stem of their pipe on a whim, maybe his name was Owen?

 

[Ahi Ka]

It reminds me of the circle on linkman’s in the first half of the 30s, except that was on the shank, so no help here sorry

 

[bluegrassbrian]

I've looked all through pipephil and haven't seen anything remotely similar. Definitely has factory numbers.
Maybe a prototype or personal run. Likely will never know.

If anyone was going to know, I'm not surprised it's you.
Be on the lookout for this pipe headed your way soon. I'm going to need a new ring replacement made of zirconium.

Don't the Duncans have a circle with a dot in the center?

Can you post some pics?

 

[bluegrassbrian]

The Duncan's I've seen have a D on the stem.

I'll wager Mr. Jensen has seen a lot more. Lol
Take his word for it mate, he knows more about British & Irish pipes than most of us here put together!

Just waiting on his holiness to post up some pics for verification.

I found a pipe this made me think about. It is a WOLF (over) London (over) HHW. It has a smaller ring. Here is a pic from PipePhil that is about the same as mine. But the ring is way to small.

Yeah I saw that on pipephil.

I actually acquired this pipe today from my buddy.
Still unknown.

It does actually look like a jump ring (partially because of the split) that's been embedded; you can see the higher point of the wire sitting high in relation to the areas where the ring meets the stem at the inside and outside of the circle. You'd think a logo would most likely be joined and be flush with the stem. I'll continue to keep my eyes peeled for another pipe with this "logo."
