About a year or so ago, I bought this SON pipe from a Serbian seller who listed it as an early creation of Eric Nording before he got his own shop.

It only cost $30, it was brand new, absolutely the most perfectly made and finished pipe in my huge stash, and a nearly flawless straight grain.

I don’t believe this pipe spent 55 years waiting for me to buy it for $30.

Somebody has mastered the perfect machine to fraise pipes. My example is marked 08 and Sailor, so it’s a factory pipe ordered from a catalog and there must be others like mine out there, and a lot of them.

Show me your SON brand pipes.

I want mo’ of ‘em’, like this’un!.:)

My Nording "SON" - given to me by one of my sons on a birthday.

The brand was meant to combine the names Skovbo and Nording. Skovbo pulled out almost immediately, and Nording continued with the SON name for only a couple years in the early/mid 60s before changing to his name.

I don't think there are many of these around.

I love mine.
