Somewhat later still, this was modified to reflect the finish, e.g. Four Dot Walnut, or Four Dot Natural. All these changes seem to have been made in the years between 1946 and 1950. Therefore a pipe with new style dots and old style stamping almost certainly has a replacement stem.
Peu de temps après, ce marquage fut modifié pour refléter la finition, p.ex Four Dot Walnut, ou Four Dot Natural. Tous ces changements semblent avoir été faits entre 1946 et 1950. Par conséquent une pipe avec des points de style nouveau et des marquages de style ancien a de façon quasi certaine un tuyau de remplacement.


This system changed little if at all in the ensuing thirty years. When the company was sold in 1979, one of the first things the new owners did was to eliminate the town names from the shanks. The dots were enlarged yet further, and the Sasieni name, though still done in script, was larger, as was the rest of the shank nomenclature, which in all other ways was similar to the Pre-Transition nomenclature. While these pipes are not as collectible as the family made pipes, they were made with care and are high quality.
