Who made this pipe?

[fontbandit]

I just purchased a pipe with “SCHENLEY” stamped onto one side of the shank, “MADE IN ENGLAND” in a circle and “122” stamped onto the other side, and a tiny white “S” on the stem. My first thought was it could be a Stanwell unusually made in England instead of Denmark, since they had a “Henley” sub-brand. But the “Henley” photos I’ve come across online have the nomenclature in script. The only “Schenley” brand name I’ve come across is a spirits brand. It’s made very well. Has anyone heard of a Schenley?

My guess would be Comoys

A three second web search found an old liquor company by that name with a lot of ties to tobacco and things in their advertising including with Kaywoodie, could have been a special production for the liquor compsmy. I’d start there.

Should be a lesson to just search there first!

After that massive description mistake made on a pipe I bought from them, I'd take what information I got from them with a grain of salt.

Ivory much agree.

Thank you, @Ahi Ka . I think you solved it right away.

That circular "MADE IN ENGLAND" stamp is very similar to a Comoy's Everyman I have back at home. It would also explain why it's so well-made for a pipe stamped with a whiskey brand. A look at another Comoy's shape 122 confirms it: https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/estate/england/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=37569

Appreciate it, all!
