Unknown pipe

[dulie76]

Apologies if I'm doing this incorrect. I recently purchased some estate pipes.most, I'm okay with most of them, but there is one I'm a little fuzzy about. I have bad vision and all I could find and make is London England, and the number 212. This pipe is old and we'll smoked. Iys plain to see that it was a top 3. Iys very comfortable pipe. Just wondering if there maybe any hints out there?

Made in London,England 212............ It could be a Comoy lovat shape

I'm going to bet it's a Comoy's made pipe going by the shape number. Is it a Lovat shape? A billiard shape with a short saddle stem?

Im with them in guessing Comoy's, a photo would help

Just go and look at the pictures. It's called unknown pipe. It's just easier I think.

I was also told it a possibility that it's a Charatan? A relief grain? I'm pretty new with most of this so sorry if I'm bleak on some things.

A Charatan shape 212 is a billiard

This one?

 

[dulie76]

Yep. That would be the one. It's a screw in stem.

 

[dmcmtk]

It's a Kaywoodie.

Thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate it. So there's a chance this pipe could be a yellow bole? I have a yellow bole standard. I'll have to give the bowl a cleaning and take a look. Thanks again guys.

Dulie, the pipe is definitely a Kaywoodie, not a Yello Bole. The black-clover-in-white-circle stem inlay is the key clue.

 

[dulie76]

You're absolutely right. I know nothing of the Kaywoodie. I over read some info and confused myself. Apparently it was in a gentlemens top 3 pipes. I guess he had for a very long time. It has a really good hand fit. Thanks again guys.
