Another Beautiful Vintage Charatan
A rather unique Dublin Variant with a hammer-like bowl bottom. Bearing no L stamping, the pipe is quite possibly from the Pre-Lane Era. For an Executive grade, the straight grain on this large pipe is more than sufficient. Double comfort (DC) stem with Regd. nbr. is bite mark free. Crisp Nomenclature Size group 6. Shows some natural wear and tear but it is in great overall condition
.....An important observation on this impressive pipe is t...hat, if you look at the the profile pictures closely, you will notice that the shank consists of two tones and the grain patterns on it do not match. My best guess is that this was done at the Charatan factory, either to reconstruct a breakage during the production, or it was done to change the grading of the pipe. The latter guess is based on the finding that there is an extra capital C letter on the darker side of the shank that is closer to the bowl....Dimensions: 6 inches long, 2 1/2 inches high, 2 1/8 inches deep, 1 3/4 inches outer diameter, 1 1/8 inches inner diameter. Weighs 2.1 oz / 60 grams
