I like alot of the hunter series. I used to have the stag and the bear.
Which one is this
Just pure luck and timing
Mind you, I’m usually bitching about the one that got away
I have a similar shape, but mine is bent like pipe Dan's "reform" pipes. Its also a Bernadotte
A former sponsor on the Forums "mrstanwellpipes" has a few NOS Stanwells listed on his Etsy site.
His prices are quite a bit higher than what I paid for mine (EBay find)
I don't own a dane, but here's my idea of one.
Although I am personally indifferent to the Volcano shape, how could one not love that birdseye grain on the bottom! That is stunningly beautiful! Thanks for the photo!
Ok so. Here’s my Danes, but my photos aren’t as sharp as Sigmund’s.
The top is a Bjarne, the middle a Stanwell Sixtus 212, and the bottom a Reborn Classic from The Danish Pipe Shop.
About the Bjarne: I call it a Dublin stubbie, but am open to correction. Handmade by Danish pipemaker Bjarne Nielsen, at a trunk show of his at McCranie’s in late 2007 or early 2008, just a couple of months before he died suddenly of a heart attack in Feb 2008. The pipe has a drawstring pouch branded with the maker’s name, and Bjarne autographed the pouch for me with a black marker pen. A keepsake.

These are the readily available danish pipes I have right now. There might be some laying about somewhere that I don't remember. I have a few unsmoked regd era Stanwell. I don't mean to keep them unsmoked. I collect Stanwell pipes with Sixten Ivarsson shapes because firstly I love the shapes, secondly I enjoy his story and thirdly a bit of local patriotism.
I used to have more danes but I recently sold a lot of my pipes to SPEU.
From left to right, early Georg Jensen, Pibe-Dan Shape Reformed, Swedish pipe club POTY 2022 by Tom Eltang, Celius, Ib Loran, Kriswill, Stanwell Sixtus, Former design, Winsløw D.
Sixten shape Stanwell pipes, all except the 64 are regd era, three are unsmoked.

By coincidence, I discovered some pdf copies of old back issues of Pipes & Tobaccos magazine on Tobacco Reviews. The Summer 2008 issue had a story and interview with Bjarne Nielsen during his last trunk show at McCranie’s in Charlotte, just before he passed away in February 2008. That was the place and time I mentioned above when I purchased mine from Bjarne. I post this and include the link should anyone else have an interest or memory.
Hello! I wanted to resurrect a discussion from previous years. I just purchased on eBay what seems to be a first era W.O. Larsen (unsmoked). Can anyone confirm? I would also love to see some of your 1st era (Copenhagen) W.O. Larson pipes!
