Comoy’s Grand Slam Patent, Smooth Straight Apple Briar Pipe, English Estates [SOLD OUT]

Description

For those not in the know, the Grand Slam was a line of pipes by Comoy with a special stinger system intended to cool and dry the smoke from the pipe before it entered the smoker’s mouth. It is often the case that, over time, parts of this system will become lost as the pipe passes from one smoker to another – but not in this instance. This Grand Slam not only has its original stinger, but also includes the original leather washer around the end of the stinger, which can be seen in the pictures.

It’s a great pipe, and a must-have for collectors of English gems. Judging by the inclusion of the ‘Patent’ designation on the stummel and the famous ‘three part C’ logo on the stem, this pipe should be from between 1945 and 1953. It is beautifully preserved, likely from a great deal of care exercised by the previous owner.
