Here we have a superb and rare vintage briar estate pipe in the "Rhodes" shape (straight Rhodesian), crafted by renowned British pipe-maker 'Loewe & Co'.The briar has a lovely 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 "Rhodes" on the underside.
The pipe remains in very good condition overall - one small chip to the decorative 'ring' around the bowl - a few light dings and scratches on the briar - and a few very light teethmarks on the stem.
There is a good 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.
Please note: the pipe stand is not included in this auction
Thoroughly cleaned and ready to enjoy.Sold as seen.
