Pipestud Needs Pipe Identification Help Again!

[pipestud]

Howdy Gang,

I just received several nice unsmoked pipes from a consignor who has no idea who made the pipes. All have the same marking on the wood. It looks like the spelling of the name is either Neohaev or Nechaeva. And the logo looks like a butterfly to me. My limited searching abilities came up with a big fat 0. So, once again seeking help here. I have attached a few photos in hopes that it will help.

Many thanks!
Steve

Not to distract from the OP's question, but those are some wild looking pipes on the website.

She definitely carves some unusual pipes, don't really see a lot of female carvers out there.

It's the new wave art, Jesse. In fact, I think you'd look swell smoking the Svetlana on the upper left. But unfortunately, it has already been sold. Oh darn.... right?

And thanks guys. You have humbled me once again. I am always amazed at how I get a Sherlock Holmes dude to help me so quickly. Many thanks greeneyes!

Thankfully, the consignor who sent me several Svetlana pipes sent only the ones that looked like, well, pipes.

The beauty of the "make crazy shit" gig is that you can't miss if you aren't aiming at something.

Just crank out whatever happens to stay together using whatever tools, techniques, and materials you like, and after a while you might become the New Thing. If so, fame and fortune await. If not, it was fun while it lasted.

 

[pipestud]

Well, here's hoping George! I made this one - well, I have not made the stem yet - and would love your opinion. Do you think this beauty will give me a shot at fame and fortune?

I'm a little late here but I have several of her pipes and love them.

In the back of my mind, I was wondering if you had any of her pipes—I remember your fondness for the unusual shapes by Rolando Negoita, and this came to mind.

Looking for estate pipes in shipwrecks.

You have to dive deep brother!

Negoita could carve really different shapes successfully because he had an eye, taste, and talent. There's some on display at this site, but a lot of it is really unsuccessful design and flat out fuggly. Makes me wonder how many of these geniuses could execute a classical billiard. THAT actually takes chops.

Don’t forget the tobacco!
When they discovered Shackleton’s Endurance, first thing I thought of was all those cutter top tins, stowed down below the decks. In the freezing waters, one would think/hope they’ll still be perfectly preserved.
