Beautifully Grained Parker Of London Bent Diplomat Filter 140 Estate
Item History & Price
Pipe length......5.60 inches Bowl height......1.80 inches Internal bowl diameter......0.775 of an inch.
This is a Lovely Refurbished Parker of London Diplomat Filter 140. Parker were created in 1922/23 by Dunhill purely for the sales and marketing of Dunhill seconds. In 1967 Dunhill merged Parker, Hardcastle and Masta to create Parker Hardcastle Ltd. at which point all three brands acquired their own i...dentity, and created their own brand ranges. Any pre-1967 Parker used the Dunhill dating system, none post 1967. The briar of this Diplomat is a lovely red/tan colour with a wonderful mix of Birdseye, Straight Flame and Whorl graining, the bowl rim still crisp and un-marked. Shank and saddle stem are flattened ovals, the stem with the P in a diamond Logo takes a 6mm Filter and is in lovely used condition. 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 beautiful finish you can see in the photos. The pipe draws and will smoke perfectly, it sits so snugly in the hand so well 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.
