[QUOTE="Kashmir, post: 292374, member: 2821"] I have about 28 Comoys now, the bulk of my collection of 60 pipes. After 30 yrs. with the pipe, I've settled on Comoys as my favorite pipe. Yours has the single C insert which is usually understood as intermediate between the earlier pre-merger three part C which has high collectors value, and the later post Cadogan merger laser etched or painted C, which buffs off readily. The transition between the 3 part and the laser C is the mid 1970s. Yours falls in the middle, so mid 70s. During the merger a lot of non traditional shapes were cut, some with plateau rims, like yours. Thus is the first Selected Straight Grain Ivr seen. But the grain is far inferior to the earlier pre merger stamp of the same. No matter. Tis a nice pipe. Smoke it in good health! [/QUOTE]
