Description:
This smoking pipe circa 1960s is marked: Ken Pat.2242805 / Genuine Briar / E. By 1615 in England, the first consignments of Virginia tobacco for pipe smoking had arrived and some 7,000 shops in London sold tobacco. It was not until the 1850’s, with the influence of Spanish cigars and a sturdier briar pipe that the clay pipes popularity began to wan a bit. A fancy pipe of Briar maybe even with fittings of sterling silver or gold could show ones stature just as a gold pocket watch could. The 19th Century saw hundreds of designs manufactured. Pipes with figures, animals, and all sorts of emblems became common.
In very good condition, it does have a small nick mark in the back, which I have shown in my pictures, and in need of sanitizing and cleaning the stack measures 1 3/4 inches tall and 6 1/8 inches long. A nice display piece for any Pipe Collection.
SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed. If you have questions feel free to contact me and thank you for looking.
