I've had one Charatan pipe about 25 years ago, and ended up selling it because I just didn't like the shape. About a year ago I had heard that the Unique by Tinder Box was made by Charatan. If this is true, are they seconds, or just house pipes made specifically for Tinder Box? As for the time period they were made, I can only find references to the 1970's. So was that the Lane era, or Dunhill? There seems to be very little info about them. Any ideas?
I did just buy a Unique off eBay for very little. It was a shape I haven't seen before, but I really like it. Kind of a Dublin or Yachtsman?
