Jobey Shellmoor Extra, Bent Billiard

Description

See photos for description and details.  I guess this could also be categorized as a bent pot shape, as well as a bent billiard.   I did not find much information on the history of Jobey pipes.  It has a moving history:
Jobey has had three homes throughout its existence. Originally made in England, it was then moved to the U. S. Now the production of this pipe is in Saint-Claude, France.  One web site claimed that the Jobey Shellmoor pipes were made in Denmark.  So there's some mystery about the pipes origins.
While this is a vintage pipe, I also found nothing adequate for making a decent guesstimate as to its dating.  I believe this was made in the United States, which dates it after 1942, but well before Jobey moved to France in 2012. This pipe does not have a "Jobey link," a screw-type fitting instead of tenon and mortise--but I could not determine a date for that, either.  There is no shape number inscribed, and that suggests it's an older pipe.  The pipe has a extra large bowl, and the rest of the pipe also has an extra substance or heft to it (it's not that the pipe is heavy, it's that it just feels very substantial and solid). The bowl is about 7/8ths of an inch diameter (ID) across the top of the bowl and about 2 inches deep.  The inscriptions: "JOBEY" on the stem; "Jobey," "Shellmoor" (barely visible), and "EXTRA" on the shank.  The sandblasted finish is fairly impressive, highlighting some really interesting grain.  The true color is a very dark, almost black, red.  I'm not sure my description is adequate, but the pictures are close to the exact color.  From the condition the pipe was in, I'd say it was someone's favorite smoker.  I've reamed out the bowl as much as I wanted to do safely (I try to avoid anything extensive because I don't want to mess up a good pipe) because the bowl was half closed with cake.  The stem was dirty and well oxidized, but didn't have noticeable teeth marks.
