Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions
Won my first Stanwell on Ebay today. A straight Bulldog, I really like the bent bulldogs. I have four of them already. Does any one know how to date a Stenwell. As the seller gave some interesting info on what he knew about this pipe. Anyway, take a look and let me know if you have any input.. Thanks Brian

In fairness the seller gives a good a history, it's a few decades old....that's all you really need to know....they only really went into big production in the fifties...started during the war. So you could have a 1950's Stanwell in mint condition for $23...not bad I'd say.

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions
You might get some info searching the 332 nomenclature since there are some models changed or discontinued over time.

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions
From what I've researched this far, The pipe is from the early to mid 60's. Received it today, and it's in almost mint condition. Not a mark on the stem and just a very minor mark on the bowl. I would say maybe smoked once if at all. Needless to say Im very pleased with this purchase.

Managed to win this one with the initial first bid I placed days ago.

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions
Yeah, I thought the lepeltiers were the real steal myself - less than $20 apiece! The tsuge was really just an average used price for a tokyo, but my justification is that I initially was on a search for a smooth stanwell bamboo with plateau rim and this tsuge is exactly that, with nicer grain than most of the stanwells I've seen.

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions
Off topic but not really off topic - Has anyone from the US or Canada ordered any pipes from Italy or Greece - or the UK for that matter? I've seen a few on there for decent bids etc. but just concerned with shipping. There's also a vendor called greensofleeds on ebay who seem to have many Pete's for sale.

I have ordered a few pipes from Italy, Poland and Greece. I've had nothing but good luck with my orders. It took on average 15 days to get them shipped but they showed up in great shape. Shipping was reasonable, I think @$12 maybe on most
