Edward’s XL Smooth Freehand Dublin w/ Acrylic Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates
Out of stock
Description
While it has, at times, contracted other parties to produce pipes under its name, Edward’s used to manufacture both pipes and tobacco of its own, with a view to becoming the “American Charatan” for the former. This particular pipe looks to be from around the 1960s-1970s, back when Edward’s prided itself on using choice Algerian briar (which the Algerian war of independence later interrupted the supply of) which was specially oil-cured and very lightly finished. In the case of this one, you can see the nod to Charatan in its unique design and hybridization of various shapes, but there’s also a good deal to it that fits more with the early American freehand scene, especially in the use of an acrylic army mount and elaborate mouthpiece.
The condition is good. Slight scratches around the bowl and minor inner rim charring.
