Please Help Identify

[B18]

Hi everyone,

this is my first pipe purchase of 2016.

I found it at an estate sale, but i can't find any information of the stamping "RENOMME".

Can someone help me identify it?

Thanks ::

According to "Who Made That Pipe?" by Wilczak and Colwell, Renommee was made by Bari of Denmark. Here is a link (Bari) to the Bari page on pipedia.org, and which provides some background information.

Allow me to apologize for the misspelling of RENOMME in my post above, as I spelled it as it was listed in Wilczak and Colwell's book. I have corrected the entry in my copy.

Bari...could be, but it looks like Stanwell shape 18 to me...

18- Pear-shaped bowl, slightly bent, oval stem, saddle mouthpiece, designed by Sixten Ivarsson.

This is a Stanwell Scandia 18,

Very nice looking pipe!

I was going to say Stanwell as well.

I gotta say, it really looks like the stanwell, but the stem looks thicker than the stanwell.

But only the name is weird.

It was not an uncommon practice for manufactures to sell of surplus stock as "no name" pipes or to produce pipes for a third party as "private label". Hunter's research suggests the latter might be the case here but the source didn't know Stanwell had also been a source. I'd say the difference between the two is within manufacturing tolerances, they're essentially clones.

A beauty, for sure. I was wondering if "renomme" was close to French for "re-named"? Or maybe "renowned"?
