This brand was distributed by Stewart-Allen Co, Inc., NY. Grading (ascending): 1 to 5 stars.
Early pipes have seven pointed stars, middle run have five points and later pipes are stamped with coloured gold stars.
Lee seconds: Briarlee, Gold Coast (preceding content from the "Pipes: Logos & Markings" website http://www.pipephil.eu/logos/en/logo-l3.html#lee)
The Briarlee and Gold Coast brands were included in a Pipes by Lee Catalog.
I have seen one pipe. "Pipe BY Lee" stamped on left side of shank over "LIMITED EDITION". Right side of shank stamped "AN AUTHENTIC" over "IMPORTED BRIAR". Logo on top of the stem is three gold seven pointed stars in a row. Additional information on time frame of operation or quality of the pipes would be helpful. --Dgillmor 21:51, 10 May 2012 (CDT)
