Hello all,
I am hoping someone with a keener brain than mine can help ID this pipe for me. It was bought as a reject estate for 7GBP ($8ish) and when it arrived it just felt like a quality pipe. The seller thought it was good but couldn't elaborate. The closest I've come to is a Charatan Dublin, but there are so many similar, ranging from entry level to collectable, I've really no idea. It is marked only 'Reject' over 'London Made'. The tenon and mortise are wonky and the stem sits neatly against the shank only in one orientation - turn the stem 180 and it sticks out at an angle. I'm guessing this is why it's a reject. Anyway, do any of you wise folk know which factory this came from and what sort of era?
Many thanks
