about a week ago, the wife and I killed a few hours at a local antique/junk shop. As we were about to leave empty-handed, when the better half found a straight bulldog marked "Royal Ascot Supreme" It's about a group three bowl size and a good solid pipe with only a few ashtray dings on the rim...looks to have been only lightly smoked ; has two slight tooth marks at the button ,and a final price of eight bucks landed it in my possession. Once home, a detailed inspection found a fairly clean, drillbit like stinger that runs through the shank and peeks into the bowl like an enter-tube. I'm still in caveman mode around here; so no photos...just a question  Who made it? I can't remember whos second the little guy is!! Thanks for any help, Herb. |

No clue on the maker, but an astounding good find...always wonderful when you can get someone elses' junk and is treasure.

According to "Who Made That Pipe?" made in America it would be a Mastercraft .

Found this on Pipedia.
-
According to PipePhil pipes with this brand were manufactured in France for Duncan (according to J.M. Lopes, op. cit. and Wilczak & Colwell, op. cit.). They were destined to US market and sold by Mastercraft. They are made in France and many are marked Algerian Briar. The logo is a crown on the stem. Some pipes of the same name with a horseshoe logo also exist that were made in England, but may not be the same company.

There seems to be some confusion, PipePhil cites Wilczak & Colwell ie "Who Made That Pipe". The listing in "Who Made That Pipe" is as follows:
5830 Royal Ascot Duncan's Engl / France
5831 Royal Ascot Mastercraft USA /Italy
5832 Royal Ascot Supreme Mastercraft USA

I have one that is stamped Algerian briar made in France. A friend owns one that’s stamped made in Italy.
I found this tidbit online............
“ Made in France by Duncan, specifically for distribution in America “
“ Made in Italy by Mastercraft USA.
BOTH of my Mastercraft pipes are stamped made in Italy and Algerian briar. Excellent smokers👌👍👍
