Show Off Your Bulldogs/Rhodesians

[bluegrassbrian]

Never cared much for the shape. I think that's partly to do with my preference for a taller bowl.
Once upon a time I had a really good looking Rhodesian with horn shank extension by Konstantinos Anastasopoulos. The horn cracked so I sent it back to him and he fixed it...I ended up selling it because I didn't trust the horn.

The only other is my most recent Dunhill, a '61 Shell that I cleaned up.
It's turned out to be a very good pipe.

I posted this Howell in its own thread but it deserves a post here. Love smoking this pipe.

They all look great, but that special straight grain is gorgeous

Unfortunately the nomenclature is all but buffed out.
Luckily Pipedia has a photo of a similar pipe

Nice!

I have a couple of Comoy’s kicking around too.

Here they are with a wayward BBB and an Askwith Morta.

This one is big enough that it deserves its own post.

I have named it “Bradley”.

It’s my only Rad Davis pipe; and if I cube cut, it takes four flakes with some head space at the top of the bowl.

Briarworks and Savinelli.

Added another bulldog to the collection. This one from artisan carver Cory Abb Brown, owner of Abb's Artisan Pipes in Georgia. This is my third pipe from him, all are phenomenal.

That's a sweet squat!

Wow, I love how plump that top one looks. Reminds me of the Comoy 499 and a little bit of the Briarworks bent rhodesian.

I suspect it is a Comoy 499 second, although I'm not sure whats inferior about it.

Yeah, there's nothing lacking from what I can see. Did you get it at a bargain price since it didn't carry the Comoy name?

$2-3 at an antique store I think.

Oh, wow! I’m guessing it's uncommon to find a pipe like this in an antique store but I'm going to try my luck.
