How wide are the buttons on these? I’ve smoked a Ropp stout and loved the look of the horn stem on it but the button was so narrow that it wasn’t enjoyable to smoke.
The 2nd of the trio of horn stemmed Bulldogs is this 1898 tapered stemmed straight which I got as a NOS
Birmingham hallmarks, but surely of French origin
Another generous sample from the same mate - GLP Samarra

They will pass a standard fluffy cleaner easily.
I’m used to older pipes with small bone tenons (need for Falcon cleaners on some) so the draw on these are pretty free
Sorry I meant the actual button itself rather than the draft hole. The Ropp I’m referring to had what seemed to be a 5mm- or 6mm-wide button.
A third of the way through this bowl of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem.
Moongazing with Gawith Bosun Cut Plug and a clay pipe.
^ great picture.
Just finished 5th smoke through this kk antiquari- 2016 Union Square.
On to Pegasus in my Stanwell DM 2006.
I do like the little blasted pot-billiard shape very much.

Late smoke, Pipe Force V in an Eltang snail

I asked Marco if he could make me one with a horn stem which he kindly obliged
Well rubbed out Hu Dockworker from the same mate

This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in an Altinay this afternoon.
Candyginia in a Ruthenberg.
Esoterica Scarborough from a 1940 Yello-Bole Bamboo
Granger in this Medico mail offer egg. 
Coniston cut plug in a Falcon with an Irish coffee.
Near the last quarter of this bowl of Wilke 10 Downing Street in an undated straight, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard billiard with a brown accent on the tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Last one for me today, more Union Square in this little dink of a Danish Dublin from Kai Nielson.
The button on the 1898 is 9mm x 6mm
The WHC is 11mm x 6mm
The Moretti is 14mm x 6mm. This is the last of Marco’s father-in-laws stock of old horn stems
I use silicon bits/silicon tubing on these horn stems
Horn is quite soft and is easily damaged if you are clench
