Since I restarted my habit I have dug out some pipes I have bought in various countries over the years. Welcome forum feedback on two I can't find anything about.
1) Marked 'Veeja original 1985' which I bought in New York sometime around the early 2000s. The only online reference I can find is that this a one line reference to Veeja being a NY hand made pipe maker. Does anyone know anything about the person/company who made this?
2) Nice dark stained curved briar with 'Appia' on one side and '602 Ital' next to a 'S' logo set inside a small shield with an inverted triangle above. I bought this in Hong Kong's Davidoff shop about 20 years or so ago (I think!). Could this be a Stanwell? It doesn't look like any of the Stanwell logos I've seen online.
Both good smoking pipes.
Many thanks,
David
