Square Shank Bulldog

[Chasing Embers]

Very cool to see something so outside of typical shaping.

Absolutely, here's a Ser Jacopo.

Wow, that Ser Jacopo is incredible.

Just for fun, here's an old Edward's Algerian.

I'd better stop for a while, finding too many things I want to buy, and developed a new obsession with a Comoy's shape.

The first Ashton was not made until 1983.

Just looking at the logo maybe a kaywoodie?.

Kaywoodie did a few square shank pipes in the 30's, Maybe an odd import.

It's a relatively simple variation on the ever popular bulldog. Some pipe maker ought to do it as a pipe of the year or seasonal pipe. I bet it would sell, and it might stick around. I can't decide looking at the pictures if it needs the bead line or not; I guess it works both ways, though it remains a little more bulldog with it.
