Weber Deep Grain Smooth Acorn Estate Briar Pipe, Other Estates

Weber Pipe Co. was a major American pipe company established 1938 by German immigrant Carl B. Weber, also known for writing the book Weber’s Guide to Pipes and Pipe Smoking. In addition to manufacturing Weber pipes, WPC also manufactured Jobey pipes and contracted Karl Erik to produce the Jobey Dansk line during the Danish pipe boom in the later 20th century. I’m not quite sure who made this pipe for Weber, though it does have something of a Danish tinge to it. If that was the origin, it would, as mentioned, not be the first time Weber had leaned into the Scandinavian boom. On the other hand, it would be equally possible that Weber did so via another company influenced by Danish pipes. In any case, this aptly named Deep Grain is a lovely acorn rendition, reminiscent of makes such as Stanwell, but also others, like Jarl, with some good, tight vertical grain patterning and an easy-hanging, lightweight figure. The condition is good. Some rim darkening and a few small scratches on the bowl.   Details: Length: 6″ / 152.4mm Bowl Width: 0.79 / 20.06mm Bowl Depth: 1.64″ / 41.65mm Weight: 1.4oz / 42g
