I was roamin around the net last night and found some interesting pics of the Savinelli firm from back in the late 1950's which might be of interest to folks who like Savinelli's. These are not pipe porn but rather "on site" pics of the firm and it's facilities where the pipes were and STILL ARE made !! :twisted:
First up is an outside look at the original shop in Milan from the late '50s. Savinelli was the FIRST firm in the world to specialise in pipe tobacco and pipes back in the late 1800's,
Next is an interior shot around the same time of the Milan store. ( in living color BTW :twisted: )
Next is where Achilles Savinelli made the first Savinelli pipes in the back of the Milan store in the late '40s:
Bowl turning in the late '50s. Weird, all those HUMAN BEINGS working with their HANDS to do the work! You'd think this was some kinda ARTISON place rather than a FACTORY !! :twisted: :twisted:
Pipe finishing and grading , 1958. (Damn there's those PEOPLE again !! :twisted: )
Pipe stamping * ANOTHER HUMAN!! :twisted: )
Hope you folks found this little visual tour interesting, I sure did as I did not realize PEOPLE did the work at the worlds LARGEST FACTORY for pipes !! :twisted: :twisted:
