Hi folks,
this lot I've acquired becomes more and more interesting. It also contains an unsmoked Charatan Special (unfortunately with a little scratch in the shank) which is quite puzzling.
The pipe only shows a number "3" on the rear side of the shank, and the logo on the stem is quite different from a normal Charatan logo, with wider letters. Also, on the other side of the stem there is a stamp "203573" which is the regd number I believe.
Any explanations / dating would be most helpful - especially about the logo.
