E.B.C. Best Briar Silver Mounted Bulldog Estate Briar Pipe

Description

I’m afraid I’m not entirely sure who made this pipe. Even Who Made That Pipe? doesn’t have an entry for the make. But it is very nice, and judging by the design, it looks to be from around the turn of the 20th century. It has a lot in common with pipes from that era, such as GFB pieces, with its silver filigree and what looks to be (though I can’t be certain) Bakelite stem. The tenon even resembles bone, which certainly hasn’t been used for a very long time.

Provenance aside, it’s a beautiful little pipe, and one whose minimal weight should make it an easy clencher.

The condition is good. It may have some handling marks here and there, but it should be good to go for a long while yet.
