    Help identifying a pipe

    I just acquired a bulldog on e-bay. There is an equalateral triangle (white outline, not solid) logo on the stem -- it looks like a pyramid. Does anyone know of a manufacturer using this logo? The bowl is stamped: MILE HIGH RED ROCK LONDON MADE I've already checked the usual sites...
