Pipe Shapes

[seldom]

Paul Kruger is still venerated by Afrikaners in South Africa. He is a rather divisive historical figure. I tend to regard him as a shit although Kruger National Park is a remarkable place in spite of the name.

Speaking of shapes. I acquired an estate meer made by Andreas Bauer for the Pfeifen Huber shop in Munich. I like the shape but don't know what to call it. Would you call this a cutty? A Dublin? What the heck is this shape?

I have this little pipe. No markings whatsoever, but I love its shape. I don't think it fits into any particular shape category.

This thread goes back to the month and year I joined Forums, February 2013. Damn, I think I even remember it in some distant way.

Part of the joy of accumulating old briar pipes is the variety of shapes.

Lookie at my new Marxman.

Not a mere Yacht, the Captain!

Ok. Here’s one that I bought about 10-15 years ago that I have never figured out what shape to call it: If anyone can know it, it will be a brother or sister on this blog! It is a Dunhill, Bruyere, 41781. Seems like a hybrid between a pot and Dublin shape, but the fluted stem and oval stummel throws it off. Does anyone have any knowledge of this Dunhill shape category? Thx.

What is amazing about this chart is there are so any that aren't listed.
