Sasieni Four Dot "Moreton" Walnut Addition

[ssjones]

I picked up this Sasieni Moreton recently. This is a Sasieni shape I had never encountered, and it is not in either my 1936 or 1951 catalogs. The stamping is Family era, post 1946, perhaps made late in that era? The blue dots are a lovely shade, you don't always get that with a vintage Sasieni. SmokingPipes apparently sold this shape in the past. They called it a Banker and likened it to the Castello 55. It does have a beautifully shaped chin, with three facets. If anyone has seen this shape in a catalog, please shoot me a scan/copy.

Looks like a GBD Trafalgar also.

I had that same exact shape in a two dot Sasieni years ago. It had a crack in the shank so I eventually sold it. I thought it was an odd shape for a Sasieni too and could not find anything about it in my searches. Hope you have better luck than me.

Trafalgar was a line, that came in different shapes.

Does no one have a later Sasieni catalog scan?

I uploaded a picture of the pipe and nomenclature stamp to the Sasieni page on Pipedia.

That is a very nice looking pipe.
