S. Bang Precursor to Stan #186?

[Justpipes]

Is this S. Bang a precursor to the Stanwell #186 shape?

To me this Bang is more of a pseudo brandy than a shape 186 which reminds me more of an offset easter egg :albino: ...

After seeing that S. Bang on eBay I was just thinking that maybe Stan's 186 is an S. Bang design. I think they look similar.

Shape 186 was designed by Anne Julie

Lots of Stanwell info on this German forum http://www.stanwell-tabak-pfeife.de/f5-STANWELL-TOP-THEMA.html
