| Lots of luck, Dave.
Like Stanwell, they've made so many different lines, for so many years, that keeping track of all them and when they were made would be a job for a deeply specialised collector.
Your best bet might be to start scrounging for old catalogues.

| I have been looking on line at catalogs
Most 811's were the balsa filter pipes
Thats what makes this hobby fun the search lol |

| | Dave....Your Savinelli dating question piqued my curiosity, so I checked my Savinelli SherWood Rock Briar. Mine is a 512; square-shank, saddle pot. Markings are (from the left on the bottom of the pipe) Sher Wood over Rock Briar; then the Savinelli "S" in a shield with the inverted "V" on top; then the shape #; then Savinelli over Italy stamped crossways, not parallel, across the shank. My pipe was bought in 1966. Don't know if this helps; but that's all I know!!!! I will say that this pipe has always been one of my favorite smokers. Smokes cool and dry every time; very light weight, just a super briar!! FTRPLT |

| Thank you ftrplt that gives me a neighbor hood to look in
This one cleaned up nice and smokes like a dream
I lean towards pipes made before the 70's they seem to have better workmanship and the briar seems better |

Strange... I generally smoke my pipes rather than date them, but if you insist here are some tips:
- Go up to it with confidence, introduce yourself and make some small talk
- Ask it out after a few minutes, when it is comfortable with you
- Be direct, but neither too pushy nor too shy
- Pick it up at the time you said you would
- You may be asked to come inside and meet the pipe's carvers before taking it out
- Once out on the date, be respectful - treat the pipe as you would want another boy to treat your sister
- At the end of the date, if all goes well, it might even let you give it a little puff on the stem! Enjoy!
- Remember to call the next day to tell it what a great time you had, and ask it out for another date if that is your intention
Hope that helps

| | Man! Imagine the pipe hook-ups you'd get if you dated some one who's family owned a pipe company? how cool would that be? |

| Any time Dave. And remember if things get serious, use one of those rubber things on the tip of the stem.

| | This brings a whole new meaning to the term "Handling a pipe" Or "Fondling a pipe." |
