c1920’s Comoy’s LORD RENFREW
118 Round Shank Slim Canadian
Gorgeous Flame Grain, Taper Bit
LONDON MADE, Very Near Mint!
Found this fabulous early pipe model from Comoy's called LORD RENFREW. This branding of Comoy's is very early, and seems to have lasted from about the 1920’s into maybe the 1950's-60's. I find the grain on this pipe extraordinary, in both the flame grain patterns, tight birdseye, but also in the wonderful contrast and rich color. I like the shape and size too, light in weight, a Canadian of mid-size with thin round shank and retro design taper stem, shape 118. The condition of this pipe is quite excellent, as it has just very slight notable wear to bowl, and no tooth marks on the stem. The dating on this I’m guessing is in the 1920’s, perhaps earlier, but probably not later. That’s based on the stamping, with LONDON MADE below LORD RENFREW, and the right side has no country of manufacture stamp, just 118. This is in keeping with a very early dating, but I’m estimating. As I said, I find the bowl to be wonderful, and the stem is made of a nice quality vulcanite. The stem is original as it has the “
R
” logo on the side, and shows no tooth wear. Inside of the bowl shows it’s been very lightly smoked, and has some surface scratches from a reamer tool, but they are shallow and have no impact on use at all. Pipe has no noted issues, weighs about 1.15 ounces. It draws really well and should be a good smoker. Polished and ready to go!

Additional cleaning may be desired on some pipes, as I focus on the exterior reconditioning and reaming, and leave the shank interior to the new owner, pipe stand not included with any pipe.
