Hallo Monique.MilleLuci schreef:Vandaag een type egeltje scheerschuim gescoord. Merk Belt uit GB. Zegt mij niets. Jullie? Ga hem nu fijn in roken met laatste beetje Peterson.......
Gefeliciteerd met de aankoop van de London Meerschaum pijp.
Lees het onderstaande eens. Je hebt echt een uniek oudje op de kop getikt en dat voor die prijs.
Goed weekend,

[b]"London Meerschaum made some pipes under the name of BELT or THE BELT, I had this comfirmed by Bonds of Oxford St. who have 5 smooth bowl versions in stock at the time of writing, these look very simular to standard system full bent Peterson Meerschaums, the smooth versions have silverware stamped L&JS {Les & Dolly Wood, Ferndown } and has Belt and Genuine Block Meerschaum stamped on the bowl. I have seen 1 rusticated version with the same silerware and 2 of which I own 1, have gold plated ware with no hallmarks and are also stamped Belt and Genuine Block Meerschaum. Both smooth and rusticated have P-Lip type stems though the air hole is not on top but at the end as with most non Peterson P-Lips that I have come accross. I do not know when London Meerschaum ceased trading but I can say from the one Belt that I own, it's a very fine pipe and not cheap, well over the £100 mark when new." These pipes were evidently sold at least as early as the 1950's.
