Ronson England Metal Pipe, Removable Rusticated Briar Bowl, Fishtail Mouthpiece

RONSON over ENGLAND, struck in a circle on the underside of the metal bowl cup, is the main mark on this pipe, and it tells you at once that this is not an ordinary all-briar pipe.

This is a classic English metal pipe made by Ronson: a black matte metal shank and bowl cup that hold a removable briar bowl in a black rusticated finish, with a black tapered mouthpiece that ends in a fishtail. There is no filter. It is a pre-smoked estate pipe in very good condition.

THE MARKS
- RONSON, in an arc, over ENGLAND, inside a circle on the bottom of the metal cup

A pipe of this kind is built in parts that each do their own job. The briar bowl sits in the metal cup and lifts out, so the bowl can be taken off for cleaning and drying. The mouthpiece carries a long, thin metal tube that runs inside the metal shank; one photograph shows the pipe taken apart into bowl, cup and shank, and mouthpiece with its tube. As noted when the pipe came in, the Ronson has its own cooler system.

The removable bowl is briar with a deep, rugged rustication, stained black, with straight sides that narrow a little toward the base. The metal body has a soft matte black finish that matches the bowl. The photographs show the pipe from every side, the chamber from above, the parts taken apart, and the stamp close up.

The mouthpiece tapers to a fishtail: it flattens and widens toward the tip, which gives the teeth and lips a broad, comfortable surface to rest on.

Condition: pre-smoked, in very good condition. Please see the photographs.
