Here we have for auction a superb and rare vintage "Straight Grain" briar estate pipe in the straight 'billiard' shape, crafted by renowned British pipe-maker 'Loewe & Co'.The briar has an excellent grain.
This pipe was produced during the company's "Haymarket Era", and certainly pre-1956.This is assured by the the lack of a grading stamp (introduced approx 1956).I used the Pipedia guide for this information.
"L&Co" is stamped on one side of the briar shank in an oval, with "Loewe London W." on the reverse, and "Straight Grain" on the underside.
The pipe remains in very good condition overall - some light wear to the bowl rim - a couple of tiny chips and a few light dings on the briar - and a couple of light bitemarks on the stem.
There is a shallow layer of carbon in the chamber, and some darkening to the bowl rim.The stem fixes very securely to the shank, and air flows through the pipe freely.
Thoroughly cleaned and ready to enjoy.Sold as seen.
Dimensions:Length: 5 1/2" or 140mms Height (bowl): 50mms Weight: 39g
Outside Diameter: 32mms Chamber Diameter: 21mms Chamber Depth: 40mms
Bowl Circumference: 115mms
