That's an elegant looking pipe there, Beards. But oh so teeny!Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 11:41 pm My newest small pipe that showed up today. A Stanwell 7455 belge. And a comparison shot to my "usual" belge (under the harsh led lighting in the garage)

Nope, I haven't yet. @Kevin Keith almost had me hitting the buy button on one at skinnyjeans a couple weeks ago but I passed. Then I ran across the little stanwell and actually got it for less $ taxed and shipped, so patience paid off againrekamepip wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2023 6:12 pmNice pipes !Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 11:41 pm My newest small pipe that showed up today.

Another one of my smaller pipes is this Masta Patent Standard.
Im a bit uncertain of its pedigree but I do rememer some.
Masta was started in 1900 and became part of Dunhills Parker/Hardcastle division. Masta were mainly sold in the Scandinavian market while Parker and Hardcastle were sold in more markets.
I know there is a lot of controversy about Masta, Parker and Hardcastle being Dunhill "seconds" but it kinda makes sense because they are owned by Dunhill.
Annnnd, its kind of odd that this Masta has one of Dunhills "innertube" inserts.....thats the "patent" part in the name. Annnnnd, the nomenclature font is identical to Dunhills of that era.
Anyways, who cares??
This pipe just smokes and tastes great. But due to its smaller size I don't smoke it much.

Well I have looked for this pipe and I can't find it. I know it's here somewhere or it was broken and thrown away without my knowing. The ladder is possible.

That’s the trouble with small pipes, they can slip away easier than most. Thanks for looking! Hopefully it’ll turn up, I also hope it hasn’t been the cause of any household friction or accusations. I too understand how cold hearted & disinterested wives & children can be, when it comes to missing pipes & tobaccos.
