Small Estate Pipe

[buddyc01]

Hi,

New guy here. I live in a place that for years was marketed as a retirement community. One of the side effects of that is frequent estate sales. I usually zero in on the pipes that we often see. I don't buy a lot but when I see something that tweaks my interest I try to pick it up.

I recently got this small (4") pipe just because I liked the size and the looks. I was wondering if:
> anyone might know the maker. The name is pretty worn down from years of a thumb. What I can make out looks like a name that ends in a Y where the tail of the Y extends back to underline the name.
>I was also curious if this size and style has a name (Kind of like the Baby Windsor I also got that is much smaller)
Kindest Regards

Buddy

I would call that a horn. I don't know the maker.

Definitely a horn. I would check out Pipedia to see if you can get a line on that logo with the swooping Y. Welcome aboard!

You could try putting a piece of thin paper over the marking and use a pencil to do a rubbing.

It's a mini horn ! Some people may call it a Zulu, but to me its more smoother and curvy to be a Zulu.

Good replies. Thanks much. I'll have to check out Pipedia.
