[QUOTE="skaukatt, post: 320930, member: 67"] Andy, thank you my friend, I appreciate that. I can attribute the Stanwell knowledge based upon the fact that faced with the prospect of wanting to own but never being able to afford an actual Sixten Ivarrson pipe, I quickly realized that I could try for the consolation prize... a Sixten designed Stanwell at a much more affordable price. It started me on a few years worth of research and yielded a number of fine old Stanwell's for the collection. I was particularly drawn to Sixten designed Stanwell's which I noticed contained design attributes and style features seen in the works of many of the modern artisenal pipe makers of today. I quickly learned that some of these attributes were not new at all but developed by the Master decades ago and incorporated (interpreted) into and by the master carvers of today, thus the reason I noticed and admired them in Sixten's designs in the first place - sort of a reverse appreciation and learning (enlightening) experience. I too love reading about the history of any maker and enjoyed my quest into the history of the Stanwell pipe - a very interesting and fascinating one at that! Thanks, again, my friend, Lou [/QUOTE]
