Just restored this Peerless 5004 made in London England, 3 part “C”.

My first and only pipe thus far is a Comoy, one of those made for Guildhall, London.

Welcome to the Club!

Welcome to the Club!

Thank you! While I have limited experience I can say this pipe has been very easy to smoke. Anyone recommend a particular Comoy in a Bulldog or Author style?

Couldn’t you also post an ugly one?

Just finished cleaning and polishing a Comoy's Extraordinaire. Don't know where this would fit in the Comoy's hierarchy. Dereck Green says the name Extraordinaire was given to any pipe that was out of the ordinary in size or grain. The seller called this a large apple shape but in Comoy's number list it is called a globe shape. It has the 3 piece C and the round" Made in London England" so probably from the sixties. Nice large piece of briar! Don't know whether I'll keep it or pass it on. Thanks, HoppesView attachment 27118

Nice! But it’s not a pebble grain, no?

 

[Irish-piper68]

No, that’s just the box they sent it in.

Among my Comoy's I have a "Gilded Grain" shape 368 which I bought back in the 70's. I have never seen much information on that particular model but it is one of my best smokers.

Does anyone have any information on where this might have fit in Comoy's line?

 

[ssjones]

I picked up another Comoy's shape 284. I've had a number of shape 284's before, in 2nd lines and one Tradition. This one has the thickest shank of any of that previous group, sort of like a mini 499. I got this in a group of Comoy's and had intended to re-sell it. I currently have it listed for a stupid price on Ebay, so lets see how anxious someone is for a 284. Until then, it stays on my rack (and smokes great!)

Damn near perfect shape for that pipe! Lovely!

 

[pepesdad1]

Beautiful pipes...gave most of mine to a good friend and kept only 2. The first was my first pipe, the second was my second pipe...back in the early 60's.

Here's a vintage Comoy's Specimen you probably won't see often! 3-part C of course!

 

[MarcosEZLN]

Just recently picked up my first Comoy's pipe, purchased from a member of this forum. It's also my first pot shape (De Luxe 102), and I've been quite pleased with it. Great little smoker, looks classy, and very light.

Sandblasted pot - counterpart to the above smooth. Cadogan era
