Show Off Your Bulldogs/Rhodesians

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.

You have to be tenacious. They are out there but you're probably going to have to go to a lot of antique stores and estate sales. I've found Dunhills and early Sasienis for $5-10 before at estate sales, but the vast majority of what you find is way overpriced clapped out drugstore pipes.

Here’s a GBD XTRA from 1927

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

What does the stamping on the other side show (the COM)? That would seal the deal, and it certainly does look like a 499.

Can you post a picture?

I'll see if I can dig it out when I get home, I don't have it regular rotation so its stashed away somewhere in a box of pipes.

How about my take on a Rhodesian, this was the second pipe I made. Cherrywood with Alumilite stem that I cast the blank and made the stem. Not the best but I am proud of it.

My first Bulldog! It’s a Canberra 103. Nothing fancy, but the restorer did a great job polishing it up. I didn’t like the look of bulldogs at first, but I’m warming up to them. A nice little smoker that feels comfortable in hand & stays cool.

My Bulldogs: 1963 Dunhill 47 F/T Bruyere (Group 3 size) on top left, Peterson Rusticated Short (shape 150) middle left, Rainer Barbi smooth (AA grade) on bottom left, and 1919 Friedlander 'F' Brand smooth bent bulldog on right.

There are some more now.

I'll share this Upshall that's been kicking around in my cabinets for 25 years or more. It's stamped "Extra Large" and indeed fits the bill. With the square shank I'm not exactly sure where it fits into the Bulldog pantheon shape wise, but the bowl is certainly bulldog inspired. Back in the 90's when I bought this from a seller on eBay, he shipped it to me along with an old tin of C&D's Raja's Court tobacco. I still have that tin. Never opened it. Must getting on to 30 years old now.

My one and only Bulldog at the moment. Looking forward to getting more.

I don't own a Bulldog, but you have a beautiful collection!

Haha! Can't change the avatar for my best buddy; maybe some maker can design a new "Pitbull" shape???
