The Diamond-Shanked Bulldog

[stanlaurel]

This classic shape is part of the Peterson Sherlock Holmes series.

They call it Baker Street but I think that they should have called Dr. Watson.

The Kinsale version is on my short list.

Does anyone else have any of these?

I have three diamond shaped bulldogs but none of which are Peterson. 2 are kaywoodie and one is a medico.

The tapered stem Bulldog shape is second behind the Rhodesian on favorite shape list.
A couple of favorites (no Petes, sorry!)

Al,
Those are gorgeous and my favorite shape by far. I don't like the tall bowl on the first couple of pics. I prefer the squat bowl and a slight bend. I just picked up a Tinsky and one from forum member zack24 (Zack Hamrich). I need about 25 more and then I will be good

I have this Butz-Choquin bent bulldog

Love my diamond shank bulldog by Dan Chlebove at Gabrieli - my Christmas pipe 2014

I have this Ehrlich meer

and these Castellos

and this Jacono

This Gabrieli is the slightly older brother of Andy Stewart's pipe. Dan Chlebove's pipes are an absolute pleasure to smoke.

I had a Baker from the original series, but that damn p-lip. Great pipe though.

Love the bead line with actual beads on that Peterson. I have an Around the World Peterson bent bulldog commemorating Ireland and other bulldogs from Johs, Stanwell, and Dr. Grabow (no bead line but elegant shaping on the Grabow Royalton). The Stanwell is a shape 32 which is often cited as one of the original Stanwell shapes.

...one of my 2014 Christmas pipes is a Savenelli 673KS, which is right between a bulldog and a Rhody, with a sort of elliptical stem with sharper edges on the two sides. I think it is correctly listed as a Rhody, but some retailers call it a bulldog. It's an impressive dark stain in the Opera series, with a wood contrasting finish band.

Al,
I don't have a great pic of the pipe but check out this link to see the professional pics that Zack has of the pipe. I got it mid December and only have about 4 bowls through it, but it smokes really well with an open draw. Its not a true diamond shank but the bulldog is my fave.

Some great looking pipes there everyone.

I don't have a Bulldog yet but is definitely on my "shapes to acquire" list.

And oh what a long list it is!! lol ::

I like the first Pete. I'd like one like that with a fishtail. The Bulldog is an old, old shape. Here's a sexy Premier Redmanol Bulldog c. 1920.

 

[ssjones]

That Redmanol is a treasure. I had to check out Pipephil on that brand, fascinating

This from 1963: GBD Virgin..not a big pic :mrgreen:

 

[stanlaurel]

Even Greta Garbo likes the bulldog.

 

[snagstangl]

[snagstangl]

But i am not having any luck getting them turned the right way
