Vintage Comoy's RJ London Made Estate Pipe.

A vintage, quality estate pipe in the straight billiard shape by London pipe makers Comoy's.  Stamped "Comoy's, London Made" and "Made in London, RJ" to the shank.  In overall good vintage condition with slight wear to the bowl rim.  Cleaned and sanitized.  Kindly view images above for more detail.

The Comoy pipe is historically significant. François Comoy in Saint Claude, France originally founded the company in the early 1820's, as a manufacturer of clay pipes. In 1848, either François or his son, Louis, made the first Bruyére pipe from the root burl of the indigenous White Heath, Erica arborea, known today as briar. Henri Comoy, son of Louis, established Comoy's of London in 1879 where most Comoy pipes have been made since. Sometime in the 1980s, Comoy was bought or absorbed into Cadogan Industries, who continue to make the Comoy pipe today.

I have on auction a large estate lifelong collection of quality tobacco smoking pipes dating from the 1950's to 1980's.  Apart from 3 or 4 of them (faults mentioned specifically) the condition is good to very good.  The collection has clearly been well-maintained and lovingly cared for.
