Lovely Old Ogdens St. Bruno 1/2 Bent Billiard 9mm (Probably Orlik)
Item History & Price
Pipe length......5.25 inches Bowl height.....1.80 inches Internal bowl diameter......0.80 of an inch.
This is a Lovely and well smoked Refurbished Ogdens St.Bruno 1/2 Bent Billiard 9mm Filter Pipe. Most of the Ogdens pipes were made in London by Orlik, but some were made in Holland by E.L.Gubbels and the Royal Dutch Pipe Company, so by pure guesswork as there are no makers marks, and most were Orlik ma...de I have taken the "Most Likely" option!! The chestnut coloured briar has sun-faded on the bowl base, and has some great Straight and Birdseye graining, the bowl rim is intact if a little worn and darkened. The stem is a 9mm Filter saddle with the St.Bruno logo, light tooth chatter, and an under mouthpiece repair. It is a little loose in the shank post cleaning and has been beeswaxed to tighten it, smoking should tighten it naturally again. The bowl was reamed and cleansed, the stem was fully sanitized to make the pipe ready to smoke as soon as you receive it, before the whole pipe was lightly polished and waxed to give the still lovely finish you can see in the photos. The pipe draws and will smoke perfectly, it sits snugly in the hand balanced and tactile.
Thanks for looking and as usual I will combine postage if you buy more than one of my items from this auction. European tracked postage is £9.85 and for the rest of the world is £11.85......I have had to increase charges following Royal Mail price increases in April but will still combine any number of pipes for the price of one.
