Vintage Savinelli Brochure - Pix heavy

[fnord]

I normally don't collect paper pipe ephemera but I found this old sales brochure yesterday in an antique store and it caught my eye. In the last two years I've acquired a half dozen Savs and they're all very good to superb burners.
The first thing that made me think this was vintage advertising - aside from the feel of the paper and the design - was the absence of the Sav Estella. I have no idea when that particular line was introduced and if anybody could educate me I'd be grateful.

Images dont work

Images worked for me. If I did my math correctly, this is from 1971?

Sorry for the aggravation, Anglesy.
My internet crashed during the download from Photobucket to here and my upload got clobbered.

Duh....
I never paid that close attention to the opening para, Mr. Clark. I'd say you're dead on.
I'll try to upload the rest of the pix shortly.

I wonder how many of these two part Partner mouthpieces survived into the aftermarket?

What!! How cool is this, I matched my pipe to the last page there (9) to my sav and it is the 412 ex if I'm not mistaken. Really cool

Thanks Fnord - great stuff!

 

[fnord]

My pleasure, guys. I'll get the rest of the pix shortly.
It's been an up and down day.

Again, sorry this took so long to get posted. I've had root canals that were less painful.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.
edit: Ruben Ysidron, former CEO of Savinelli, USA for 40+ years, just stopped by the shop and I showed him the pics. He said the pipes were a lot cheaper back then! That would have been his 2nd or 3rd year at Savinelli.

I really like the pipe shaped pipe socks in the first post on pages 4 and 5.

Niiiice.
Thanks for sharing.
Now I gotta find an 012 Sport shape,

too cool.
I recently scored an old vulcanite stemmed 101 blasted billiard DeLuxe and I love it.

Very nice. I do have a Sav Extra among my other Savinellis. Thanks for sharing this.
