Picked up this little nose warmer at the flea market for $10. Its a Pickwick Arms Sasieni second. Does anyone know when these were made? I didn't know it was a Sasieni sub until I got it home and looked it up.

That's a great looking burner, DPV, and it's going to bring you years of smoking pleasure. You also stole it for a ten dollar bill.
Sasieni subs do damned well on the aftermarket and you can easily triple and better your purchase price after a good scrubbing.
I can't help you with the dating though, but I'm sure some of the aficionados here will weigh in. Years ago I remember reading that Sasieni would release a sub-brand for several years then park the name on a shelf for several decades and, more importantly, they were very poor at documenting those changes.
Cheers on a great buy.

More than likely,
it's a Custom-Bilt,
I think?

Thanks for the link and info. That looks just like it. Whatever it is, it's a fantastic smoker. I've put three bowls through it so far. I'm going to name it Fat Bastard. It's so thick it never gets hot.
I feel like I'm being a dick, sorry. It looks kinda like a Custombilt clone. It isn't one of the "known" Custombilt
seconds from Bill Unger's book. Tom Howards were a clone but not actually made by Custombilt either.
That reminds me I need to send something to tuold.

While I was waiting I bought this no name big club of a pipe. I've been carrying it around between my teeth all afternoon enjoying the clean briar/alcohol taste! I'm pretty sure this pipe was made at the same east coast factory where all the Custombilt knockoffs were manufactured.
Oh, here's my one Tom Howard. Another nice burner, for sure. It's the only TH I've seen with a blue dot on the stem.
:D
