Rustic English 457 History

[KennethR]

Hello, I'm new to the pipes magazine forum. My son bought me an English Rustic 457 pipe from an antique dealer for Christmas, it's a pipe that I will clean up and use. Can anyone please tell me the history of this pipe, the manufacturing and when they ceased production? I'd love to know a little bit more about the English Rustic brand. Ken
