It looks like a 139 shape but I am more interested in the Model, quality, value.

The Night and Day, Vario, and Classic model lines have the light accent ring.

This looks like the Classic line with width and sharp edges of the ring best matching yours, plus the distinctive blasting.

Some in this line come atop a tobacco jar, some have "Classic" as a metal inlay.

This post does fulfill what my brain though was going to be posted

It looks similar to my 240. But bigger maybe.

I'd say 240 with that Dublin bowl.

On the opposite side of the shank, they have a brass tag with nothing written on it. The seller wants 45 + 7 shipping. Pipe comes new in box with sock. Has 3.

 

[didimauw]

Buy all three!!!!!

So, a Classic model Stanwell, a second... without the word on the tag!?

And that's easily half the price of the ones I've seen with "Classic" stamped correctly.

Don't they usually put those engraving plates on their Pipe of the Year model? That's a beauty. I saw those and almost bought them...but I'm trying to learn self control HA! Needless to say I have cut my fingers off and am typing this message with bloody nubs. Must........resist.........pipe......purchase!

Yes, but POTY also has a sterling silver ring, not wood, like we have on this pipe.

Great pipe.
I have to agree. You should buy all 3 and sell one to me. ha ha

Ah...looks like it could be a Stanwell made to go to a store, but never made it through the whole process. I think I found a final version of it's twin.

That is exactly what it looks like.
LightMyBriar, if they are still there tomorrow, I will buy one but if not... Oh well.

There's also a super cool hexagon or octagon shank Stanwell if I remember correctly. I will live vicariously through your purchase haha! I'm trying to save for an Eltang poker, which has been my Grail pipe for a long time. It's hard to fight off very affordable distractions haha.

The pipe shown has shape no. 140 and according to Basil Stevens it was designed by Jess Chonowitsch.

It's a great smoker by the way as is its close relative no. 139, likewise designed by Jess Chonowitsch.

Buy it and have your name engraved on the plaque. Bam, custom pipe.
