Just finished smoking year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Taking a very short work break to feed Suzy and Molly. I know they're hungry when they meow above the third octave.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am having my last smoke of the day: Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2019 black rusticated Peterson 312 full bend billiard with a military mount and a nickel band with a cumberland 4AB stem and a N.A.P. bit. Reading while this bowl lasts.

A bit more info on the maker of your beautiful pipe:-
"Charles Leopold Maas was active in London from 1883 at 13 Jewin Crescent, EC as manufacturer and importer of smokers' pipes of various types, including "recherché" and "meerschaum".
The firm entered various silver hallmarks as pipes were often silver-mounted as were manufactured in precious metal many smokers' accessories and walking sticks.
In 1890 (London) and 1910 (Chester) Charles Maas entered a conjoined hallmark with Marcus Maas (manager).
In 1910 the firm removed to 1A Aldermanbury Avenue. Interesting to note that from 1891 the firm used a hallmark "CM surmounted by a crown" to characterize its "Unsurpassed quality Corona Mounts."
