S&R Woodcrafters 49 XL Partially Sandblasted Canadian Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates

Stephen and Roswitha Anderson, of S&R Woodcrafters, were two of the United States’ most renowned artisan pipe-makers. They were also one of the very few examples of a husband and wife pipe-making partnership, like Les and Dolly Wood of Ferndown or Love Geiger and Sara Mossberg of Geiger Pipes. Stephen and Roswitha began making pipes in the 1960s, soon developing a loyal following for their pipes in North America and in Europe. Stephen Anderson passed away in 2009, though Roswitha carries on the S&R legacy from the workshop the two once shared on a converted farm in Ohio. I do like a good Canadian rendition, and if it’s hand made, all the better. Here, for example, we have an exceptionally long take on the form, one that leans toward some of the Comoy’s, Dunhill, and Sasieni designs of yesteryear. Despite its length, it’s a remarkably lightweight piece, which is another reason Canadians are so dear to my own heart. The condition is fair. Some rim darkening and finish fading.   Details: Length: 7″ / 177.8mm Bowl Width: 0.81 / 20.57mm Bowl Depth: 1.53″ / 38.86mm Weight: 1.1oz / 32g
