Calvert Super Deluxe
I recently acquired a large lot of pipes from an estate. It included many lovely styles and well known brands. There are 2 mystery pipes that are marked CALVERT SUPER DELUXE. There is no country of origin on them. One has a red dot mark on the bit and the other has a C in a circle. I am in Canada and the bulk of the pipes are Brigham's (the owner had a favorite sportsman model and the lot included 30 plus identical. I am wondering if Calvert could have been a store brand of Fader's? I would add pictures but I cannot seem to operate that feature. --Hdm1950 (talk)
