Question for the Comoy’s Mavens

[milk]

So, Would this C.B. Perkins be a Comoy’s pipe from the 30s? Another period? Or no way to tell?

 

[sablebrush52]

No way to know for sure.

Regardless of when it's from, the grain looks really nice.

No way to know for sure.

Isn't this a "rugby shape" Made in England ~1910 - 1930s?

 

[jguss]

Yeah, it’s a Comoy; the shape number gives it away. Here’s a Comoy Tradition shape 407 Steve Fallon sold a while ago:

Yes, it was made by Comoy's shape 497 aligns with them, Square Shank Saddle Bit Pot. Edit* Went lunch without hitting the enter button and Jguss beat me to it.

Funny, when i ignore someone's text for 3 days then reply i use the same excuse but i add "I was wondering why you didn't reply back to me so i checked and saw it was my bad". lol

Okay, Comoy's mavens, what is your decision?? Inquiring minds want to know.

I have a cheap flip phone. I can blame the phone. No one buys it but they pretend they do.

That’s what I thought but I guess we can’t know.

I mean there must be a reason that this isn’t determinative. Perhaps absent further information.

Comoys had an immense seconds line plus they made pipes for tobacconists.

It’s a Comoy shape number. It’s a Comoy in one way or another

I just wonder if it’s a pre-transition pipe. It’s a beauty.

Well, do you mean pre-80’s?

Hell yes it is.

Sure, but, the pipe in question has a much more circular COM stamp, so I thought later, then doing some more snooping found out that the rugby shape also got used later, so it's not confined to the period you mentioned. Hence, no way to know for sure.
I think British makers often used what was around. I've found Barling's Make logo stamps that were used in the late teen and '20's turning up again on hallmarked examples from 20 years later.
Or maybe they just though it would be fun to mess with obsessives who would try to date everything because...well, because.

Do you happen to know the time period that Sasieni produced the Sashar? That’s another question, while I’ve got you.

I think most of them are surprised that us obsessives care as much as some of us do.

Do you have pictures of the nomenclature? That would help.

I had a Sashar pipe a while back and seem to remember they were made during the family era (pre1979) and mainly sold in the South African market.It was an excellent smoker
I think @ssjones was who I conversed with
