Bristol or perhaps Doctor Boston? Possibly Benaderets, but that seems too bold compared to what you have.

Seems to be quite a mystery. I assume the owner had no info?
Not a Doctor Boston. i used to have one and you can't really make it out well iin the picture but the upper curved up and the lower curved down. Look at the pictures of Marks it looks like the upper is straight and the lower curves up a little. It has all the classic markings of a (Briarcraft) Smokemaster. Even the bottom of the pipe is cut like others I have seen only thing missing is the Stamp on the Briar and across the bottom where the nice cut flat spot would normally say Aged Imported Briar. (in a nice font) The only Smokemaster I have left is a bad example seeing it is a different age and class of Marks. Mine has an Orange Funny shaped diamond on the stem because mine is from the 30's before 1939 but after 34. Only thing I can say is that from looking at the Stem and pipe it calls out a Briarcraft company. They made many pipes like Airo, Cavalcade, Smokemaster and Sterling hall. I know that Smokemaster had on some of the Pipe a B a few Airo i came across did. It was a Second pipe (Basket Pipe) between 20 and 50's seeing Briarcraft closed down in 1950.
