The following pipe is circa 1919, marked BRUMFIT, N.P.U. LONDON. The BRUMFIT part matches a tobacconist shop D.Brumfit (Piccadilly) Ltd. 107b as you can see from a reference photo in pictures at right. The pipe is marked with other stamping N.P.U. which I can't figure out. The L-B = Louis BLUMFELD which was an early pipe maker, and I've seen it marked on a hallmarked band for BBB Pipes as well. I'm assuming the pipe was made by Louis Blumfeld for the D. BRUMFIT shop in London.
The hallmark for dating does put it at 1919.
