[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 235583"] Point taken. But I don't know that English pipes 1950-80 are separable from, say, Stanwell/Peterson/Savinelli/Brebbia pipes 19-whatever 'til nearly today on a "quality" or "standards" basis. Similar machinery, similar economic-driven production efficiency, &c. The goal in both cases was not perfection but a high standard of acceptable standardness. Which is "why" outfits like Castello & the Great Danes (even the Pretty Good Danes) could distinguish themselves from the production line stuff. IOW, about the only difference I see between my older-timey "name" and no-name Britwood and their post-20th Century analogues is age and use. :face: [/QUOTE]
