    Help identify this BBB Own Make!

    I have a matching set of 3 BBB Own Make pipes of different shapes - same grain/semi-rusticated. I’ve never seen any BBB pipes like these before so I’m questioning their legitimacy. I’ve had them for about 15 years and they’ve just been stored away. Anyone familiar with this type of BBB?

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    Wow…nice. That’s a good price if you’re the seller! I’ve got a few Kaywoodies from the 30s and 40s that are unsmoked…I’ll be looking for a new home for them soon.

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    I looked at that thread when researching my pipe. Your Savinelli Gold is gorgeous. Mine has the same stamps in the briar and similar blast/grain. I wonder if it was just never adorned with the gold bands since it sat in the Savinelli factory warehouse from its creation until it was recently...

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    Ok. Smokingpipes is advertising them as Punto Oro Gold but it appears they are Gold. What’s the difference? Which is better quality?

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    Great information, thank you! This was one of the legacy stock pipes recently advertised by one of the larger online pipe outlets (I believe owned by the same company that owns some major pipe manufacturers). It’s a great looking pile that looks very similar to a Dunhill ring grain in my...

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    I just received an amazing pipe from my wife for my 50th birthday. It was advertised as a Savinelli Punto Oro Gold Sandblasted (legacy stock - new but manufactured between 1975-2005). When it arrived, I noticed it says Savinelli Gold on the bottom of the pipe, and the stem has two gold dots. It...
