What Pipe Shape is This??

[StPaulPiper]

I recently bought a "VICTORIAN STERLING SILVER & BRIAR ESTATE PIPE London 1893 MEERSCHAUM INSERT" on fleabay. After some extensive cleaning, I mostly got the ghosts to leave and the stem removed, and it's now smokable again (and smokes very well - nice and dry). But I don't know what to call the thing. What would this pipe shape be called?

I'd go for cherrywood with a rounded foot.

Hawkbill

The shape is a hawkbill. The mechanics appear to be a calabash… @virkia might know.

I'd call it wonderful. You must have done a great job cleaning it up.

 

[orlandofurioso]

I concur; hawkbill . Wonderful acquisition, congrats !
Great job on the refurbishing, spot on

Hawkbill would be the closed classification of this pipe due to the transition from bowl to shank, but I could also call this a Cherrywood, just because it looks like a bend poker.

 

[Waning Embers]

also call this a Cherrywood

I went with hawkbill because the defining feature of the cherrywood is being a flat bottomed sitter.

It's not a hawkbill.
Cherrywood Stack.

It's not a hawkbill.
Cherrywood Stack.

No flat bottom.

How about a photo from the top? Does the meerschaum insert come out? Is there a chamber below like a calabash?

Nice pipe and great restoration work! Is that an amber stem? Wow, great find!

Personally I'am going to call it the "forgettable band" because well it has no need for a name.

There is a technical name for these pipes. They usually show up made of meerschaum with a rather odd shaped case on eBay. The idea is not so dissimilar to a calabash and I was the proud owner of one once gifted to me by a chum who is now long dead.

 

[condorlover1]

Suffice to say I no long own said pipe having given it away!

Hawkbill is part right. But then it Dawes/Underslung/Captain Warren as the second part.

Can't be, the underslung wasn't invented until 1920.

 

[peteguy]

Hawkbill with a Barrel inspired bowl.

BTW, that thing turned out awesome!!

In the 1895 Harrods catalogue the shape is a "Captain Warren"




There's a more recent example at Smoking Metal

CAPT WARREN

I'm afraid I have no information on Captain Warren himself.

 

[sablebrush52]

BINGO!!! It's a Captain Warren. I have no idea who this Captain Warren was, but this shape, whenever it appears in an old catalog, is called a Captain Warren.
