Comoys Spectrum 42 Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

Comoy’s is a historic brand in pipe making, and possibly the most historic brand in the making of briar pipes. Though originally founded in 1825 by a French family from Saint Claude, France, production of Comoy’s pipes was soon moved to London, England, where it established itself as one of the quintessential English pipe companies.

From what I can tell, Comoy’s “Spectrum” took its name from the color spectrum, as the pipes featured ferrules comprised of acrylic rings of various hues, sandwiched by two brass bands. These add a nice touch of color to the traditional shapes features in the line—in this instance, sapphire blue.

The condition is good. Light rim darkening and minor handling marks.
