https://www.bollitopipe.it/stanwell-hcandersen-with-double-mouthpieces-filter-p-8917.html OK, that was what I was trying to link Sable. Can't say what Stanwell calls the shape but it does seem most merchants refer to it as a calabash. Here's another 1.

Dealers are free to say whatever they please. The manufacturer doesn't call them calabashes. Stanwell does offer a calabash shape and it looks nothing like any of these.

here's a Stanwell Calabash, the rim is the give away;

newbroom, that's exactly like what my bowl looks like which was noted to be a HCA II when I bought it.

Well, unless your HCA 2 is mis labeled, it's similar, but not the same. The 162 is a calabash:

The HCA 2 has considerably less outward flare and top lip:

So Stanwell doesn't consider it a calabash.
Smoking pipes describes it as a bent Dublin.

Sable, the rim on my pipe flares more than what you posted, though perhaps a smidgeon less that what the 162

Actually, mine looks like a HCA V this one http://www.stanwellpipe.com/?155,stanwell-pipe-h-c-andersen-5-sand

However, at the time I bought my HCA II there were no HCA 3, 4 or 5 in existence.

It's a nice shape. Still a Dublin, not a Calabash.

Here's a Barling briar calabash shape from 1908:

Note the amount of flare from the base to the top. The pillow rim isn't a necessity as many sterling topped calabashes didn't have that.
Here's a Barling gourd calabash from 1908:

That is lovely Sable. Perhaps you're right about that. I looked very closely at my pipe vs the photo of the HCA V and would say they are identical. Rather odd, though, that what they now call the HCA V was what they had called a II.

 

[sablebrush52]

There's a similarity in the upper half of the bowl though the biggest difference appears to be the shank shape since it flares outward where it meets the stem, unlike the 2, and is a little bit straighter and more angular at the base than the 2.

I'd like to see a picture of your pipe.

Too tech-impaired to post pics but it is a HCA V by another name. The V you show by SP is noted as a "bell" by them and, perhaps that is where the confusion comes in as, being a Peterson guy, there is a similarity to the shape of the Sherlock Holmes original which they describe as a "bell calabash."

Bell was the shape name I was thinking of when looking at the Stanwell HCA pipes. Charatan had a bell in its line:

that looks similar to the HCA pipes

Irish- This one? It is not "technological" to embed a photo.....

Once your photos are on a photo hosting site (such as Imgur.com; Postimage; Dropbox, etc. Photobucket), or on virtually any site, (including this site's album) such as eBay, Amazon, you-name-it, select the full sized image, then Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) on the image itself, then choose "copy image location" or similar words. Now paste that URL (the full web address, which should end in .jpg or .png) into the IMG box in the reply window of the thread you're posting to.
