Gordon Bruyere Smooth Straight Billiard Pipe - Vulcanite Stem, Unsmoked

This Gordon Bruyere is a smooth straight billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem and a fishtail bit. Farid records it as unsmoked, with no filter. The photographs show a warm brown bowl with visible grain and a long, plain line from the shank to the mouthpiece.

The billiard shape is expressed here through an upright bowl and a relatively even-sided profile, with a rounded transition into the heel. Its straight shank continues into a stem that gradually narrows toward the bit. The wood and black stem meet directly, without an external band in the photographs. This simple construction keeps the bowl profile and the grain at the center of its appearance.

The detached-stem views document a projecting metal fitting at the tenon. The intake specifies no filter; the fitting should not be confused with a 9mm filter system. At 141mm long and 32g, this is a relatively light example, with the complete measured dimensions recorded below.

THE MARKS
Farid records the stamp as Gordon bruyere. A shank close-up is included as the last photograph; the impression is faint and partly softened by reflections. The available evidence does not establish a production date, country of manufacture or additional model name, so none is assigned here.

CONDITION
Unsmoked, as recorded by Farid. This description does not add a mint or flawless grade to that statement. The photographs document the rim, chamber opening, both sides, underside and separated stem, so the surface can be judged in detail. All eleven photographs are included.
