The Guildhall of London 42 Bent Billiard Estate (c. 1960s-1970s Vintage)

Sale Price: €105.00 Original Price: €115.00

For the collector who values peak English engineering and rare factory history, this vintage Guildhall of London 42 is an absolute masterpiece of an everyday smoker. Produced by Comoy's during their legendary pre-Cadogan golden era, Guildhall pipes were crafted from the exact same high-grade Algerian briar blocks as the main line, offering flawless British internal dynamics and exquisite grain mechanics.

This classic shape 42 is a beautifully sweeping, muscular Bent Billiard. The stummel is a natural wonder, showcasing an incredibly dense, mesmerizing field of bird's eye tight-curled across the heel and flanks, framed by elegant grain lines wrapping up the bowl. Adding to its unique character, the pristine vulcanite stem features the classic triple parallel bar inlay—a nod to historic London craftsmanship.

Stamped clearly with The Guildhall London Pipes, Made in England, and shape 42, this mid-late-century classic is in stunning vintage condition. The rim is perfectly smooth and clean with only a few microscopic marks, the briar glows with a rich contrast stain, and the stem is entirely free of tooth chatter. An exceptional, sweet-smoking piece of London history fully prepped for its next chapter.
