Thanks Brian. BTW, www.crawfordpipes.com has some very nice looking pipes on his web page

I'm excited to see how it comes out, Mark.

Is there a way for you to learn the origin of those 2 pipes? I like the bulldogs. It's a good size.

Its gonna be like pulling teeth Brian. The bulldog does not have any markings or stamps. The billiard has the capitol letter "B" stamped on one side of the stem, up near the tenon. Its a capitol "B" and not "b" and is simply a stamped letter, all black impression (i.e., there is no white within the stamped line).

I've looked-up a few different references, but nothing really hits the nail on the head, and it would only be speculation at this point.

I'll shoot a micro photo of the stem and post it here tomorrow for your review...

Here's a micro shot of the stem with the letter "B" for your review. It does appear to have had some "white" laid-in the stamped "B" at one point in time.



This particular stamp does not appear to be available for review in some of the websites with "marking" references. So, the search continues...
