Tinder Box Unique. Estate pipe

[oldmannk]

Was looking to see if anyone knows or has information about Tinder Box pipes?

What kind of info were you looking for? I mean, Tinder Box has been selling their branded and unbranded pipes for forty years. There's a lot of history there.

I have one saying it was made in England. I was looking for basic info. Good or not good. I probably just keep it and smoke it.

My research shows them to be made by Charatan for Tinderbox c1970's. If you google Tinderbox Unique OTC you will see the site that I found. Probably a dang good pipe for the price.

Is it stamped "Unique"? If so, it was probably made by GBD. I was just reading Hackers 1984 book "The Ultimate Pipe Book" and he mentions several UK brands who made pipes for The Tinder Box (and some Italians as well if memory serves).
