A.M. Bruyere Garantie Smooth Straight Estate Pipe, Light Stem, Vertical Grain

A.M. over BRUYERE GARANTIE, stamped on the shank, are the only marks on this smooth straight pipe.

This is a smooth straight briar pipe with a rounded bowl, a light cream-colored tapered stem and a metal tenon. As noted when it came in, the briar shows vertical grain.

THE MARKS
- A.M.
- BRUYERE GARANTIE

"Bruyere garantie" is French for "guaranteed briar". It is a quality promise that the bowl is cut from real briar, and it was stamped by many makers, so it does not name the maker. The letters A.M. above it are the only clue to the maker; we do not hold a record that names them, so we give no maker and no year.

The bowl is smooth and rounded, with the grain running up the sides under a warm brown stain. The light stem tapers toward the bit, and the photographs show it taken out of the shank, with its metal tenon. They also show the pipe from every side, the chamber from above and the stamp close up.

Condition: please see the photographs for the condition.
