I no longer smoke, but I do buy and refurbish primarily briar pipes. I spend a lot of time trying to identify a specific mark so I can pass it on to whomever the next owner is. I have come across a group of pipes all marked Olde Bruyere, not major pipes, but there is some interesting shapes and just based on the usage of these pipes, I believe they are at least 1940's or older, but have not been able to find any information. Could be St. Claude pipe makers being a little extravagant on the lines. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I keep trying to learn as I walk down this twisty path of pipes.

It couldn’t hurt to contact Marty Pulvers at Pulver’s briar, or the people at Smokingpipes.com.
Both parties have seen and researched a lot of pipes for resale.
