Show-Off Your Stanwell Pipes Here!

[joeman]

My little Stanwell farm began innocently enough 3 or 4 years ago with one...then another...and many of you know how it can go from there. The good news for my pocketbook is that the majority of these came to my mailbox one at a time, in need of some level of refurbishment/restoration...so in many cases, I paid some fraction of what they'd be worth if they were already shiny.
With the exception of the Italian-made brushed pipes in the center (I'm yet to break those in), the circle is comprised of Danes which are all smokers for me. Happy to show individual pipes better if any of you Stanwell guys care to see.

Thanks, Smitty! They are handsome...and smoke like champs...especially that calabash.

8) I may have another 62 in the 'work box'.

Fine collection!

Thank you sir!

Joeman, you have some great shapes there. I, too, like the Stanwell 1/4 bent calabash. I have 1 blasted with smooth rim in the HCA series.

Earl...can you post an image of it?

 

[irishearl]

Sorry, never have known how to post images. Bought that calabash new years ago and, at the time, it was noted as a HCA II. However, when I see HCA II's noted for sale now, it's a different shape. Bit of a mystery that.

Epic collection Joe. That #165 is calling my name.

My latest Stanwell; a reg.no. shape 49 and some stuffing.

[joeman]

Very nice 49!

 

[odobenus]

Joeman! That is an amazing collection. What's the style number of the egg-like piece at about 9:30 or 10, between the two with exposed plateau? Or would that be a freehand with no style #?

Thanks.

New (to me) Stanwell 137 Royal Prince, Eltang design, Danish made.

Followed by two modern Italian-makes: the great Sixten-designed 63 (Royal Danish), and a 207 with no stain, which I bought without realizing it was filtered, so I got an adapter that works well (thanks to some kindly advice from Dave Wolff). I like the 'authentic' line.

Okay you win joeman. I have only one stanwell and I love it. My stanwell is a canadian or french style Zebrano.I love Zebrawood so all the ones I would purchase would be the Zebrawood ones.Love them-I have a thing for inlays I guess...

Nice 08, Don. My favorite Stans.
Here’s a pair of registration stamped 08’s.

I decide to get a new (state) pipe to celebrate my 56 anniversary on earth and looking in a sort of craiglist I found this gem.

It is a Stanwel 19 as far as I could investigated should be pre '50s due to the register number and hand made stamp I must perform some clean up so first smoke wont be today
