COMMISSIONED #B2242 WENHALL Futura 87 Rusticated Fancy Miniature Billiard – This is an interesting shape and I’m not quite sure what to call it. It sports a long ‘Canadian-like’ bent shank, a canted Dublin-like stummel and an attractive rusticated, OR is it a blasted surface? So, I call it a Fancy Miniature Billiard! Length:4 7/8 inches, Height: 1 3/4 inches, Rim width: 1 1/4 inches, Chamber width: 7/8 inches, Chamber depth: 1 3/4 inches.

#B2327 Chatel Horn Stem Sculpted Billiard
#B2325 Briar Petite Rustified Billiard
#B2321 Pipe Dr. Geo Deposee Horn Stem Paneled Bulldog France
#B2320 Unmarked Horn Stem Bulldog – Even though this Bulldog is unbranded, it came with the French Lot of 50, and with the horn stem, I’m guessing it is also has a French COM. Very nice different look for a classic Bulldog and a diamond horn stem.
COMMISSION #B2319 Napoleon of Italy Billiard – This Italian stamped classic Billiard has very nice grain pattern hidden beneath the old finish.
#B2318 Vieille Bruyere Petite Blasted Apple – French made.
#B2317 Chap Ecume – Meerschaum Lined Horn Stem Billiard – This French made of St. Claude, has some shank challenges, but the fact that it’s Meerschaum lined makes this restoration very much worth it. I like the horn rim – adds a rustic feel.
#B2308 Gentleman Rusticated Pocket Pipe – This Horn shape I’m calling a Pocket Pipe because it’s length is a pocket-perfect 4 1/4 inches. The rest of the dimensions are: Height: 1 1/2 inches, Rim width: 1 1/4 inches, Chamber width: 3/4 inches, Chamber depth: 1 1/4 inches. Another interesting collector.
#B2307 Sport Bullmoose – A Bullmoose is a squat Rhodesian with a very heavy 1/4 bent stem, according to Bill Burney’s Pipe Shapes Chart. This is a great example with a hefty presence in the palm.
