Vintage Pipes

[angleseykayaker]

Hello everyone, trying to seek information about a number of pipes I’ve been given! Hopefully you will have the knowledge.

One is a Perkin’s, one is a Real Briar Old Bond, a Cavampol and there’s a Tiroler Pfeife too (clockwise from top left).

Any info on them would be amazing. They hold some sentimental value in the family

Thank you

These sound like smaller pipe brands or more likely sub-brands ("seconds") of better known brands. I'll watch the thread; I'd be interested to know.

I would look on Pipepidia and see if they are listed there.

As stated above, check pipepidia. Since the pipes have sentimental value, I would get them professionally cleaned and display them on a nice pipe rack.

The one on the bottom right is a thick shanked Rhodesian with a horn stem. Very likely French.

This, right here.

The restorer might even be able to give you information regarding the pipes too.

Welcome to the forum.

Love my old antique pipes.
A 100+yo German pipe shop closed that had a heap of NOS {new old stock} pipes, some that were over 100yo. I bought quite a few from ebay auctions.
One example; A 1920-30s Dobbelmann Santa-Filter Optima 500


The pipe on the bottom left looks to be German or French.
It looks to me like what's called a Hunters pipe. [I've read somewhere that the cord was so hunters could hang the pipe off a tree branch or post while taking a shot]
Is that stem a Cherrywood branch?

Here's a couple of my Hunter pipes;
A 1930-40s Standard Old Briar with horn stem.



1920-30s Bruyere Garantie with horn stem and Bakelite base.




Regarding the horn stem; being a natural material there can be hidden weakness in the grain that can crack/split if too much pressure is applied when clenching.
If you're a clencher I'd highly recommend that you use a rubber soft bit on the stem.
