GBD “PRINCE OF WALES” Pipe
Very Early, Retro Design
Hand-Carved Hexagon Panel
Early 1900’s, Nice Pipe
Here’s a PRINCE OF WALES brand pipe, which is a bit of a mystery as to who makes it. I’ve come across these very infrequently, and they are probably made in the early 1900’s like 1920’s, so it’s about 100 years old. They only have PRINCE OF WALES on the bowl bottom and also stamped across the stem top. I like the retro-cool design: the pipe is somewhat small, the bowl carved with three panels and rimmed with smooth on the corners and top rim. The stem is made of a quality vulcanite, and has a stinger. The design of the stem bit indicates to me it’s early; the end is more elliptical than later designs. The bowl is in nice shape overall. It had a crack at the shank upper right side (see photo), which I didn’t notice until it was all refurbished, as the stem fits snug. The owner hit it with CA glue to make sure it would not be an issue. The bowl interior is well-seasoned, in nice shape, draw hole bottom center. Pipe weighs in around 1.05 ounces. Freshly polished and is ready to smoke.
