Pipe & a walk

It just depends who you ask really. Some say that a bulldog is a rhodesian and a rhodesian is a bulldog. Even if the shank were round, it's out of proportion with the bowl to be a billiard and the stem is too long to be a lovat.
I'm curious where you get the stem proportions from?

From tobaccopipes.com:
"In order for a pipe to be considered a Canadian, the length of the shank must be at least one and a half times the height of the bowl, but cannot exceed double the length."

With the OP stating that #10 has an oval shank, I would say he has it correct that it fits the description of a lumberman with its saddle stem, regardless of the stems length.

Then again if the stem was 9 inch's it would be a churchwarden, LOL

I'm confident this settles things.
sorry but a street elbow that is not. It's clearly a Fop Duster a.k.a. a Rakes Beater. Not to be rude but you need to show you're eye doctor those pictures and your list. Seriously once you get your new prescription you'll be shocked at how crisp the world looks and also understand why people laughed when you said Charlette from accounting has a lucky husband.
