Weber Golden Walnut Smooth Stout Pot Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates

Description

Weber Pipe Co. was a major American pipe company established 1938 by German immigrant Carl B. Weber, also known for writing the book Weber’s Guide to Pipes and Pipe Smoking. In addition to manufacturing Weber pipes, WPC also manufactured Jobey pipes and contracted Karl Erik to produce the Jobey Dansk line during the Danish pipe boom in the later 20th century.

There are many things to like about this Weber, but I’ll stick to two. First of all, the shaping is traditional yet curiously distinctive, taking the form of what could be considered a short-bowled Dublin or, as I’ve elected to go with here, a particularly stout rendition of the classic pot. Second, it wears a gorgeous golden contrast finish, with the pipe almost looking like it was dipped in treacle. It wasn’t, of course, but the caramelized brown sugar hues of the bowl are a genuine delight to behold.

The condition is very good, too. Some minor inner rim darkening.
