Atwood pipes were apparently made for, or in collaboration with Atwood M. Tempe by Comoy, and perhaps other pipe manufactureres.
Todd Platek reports:
I own the Atwood pipe shown in Valitchka’s reprint of Atwood’s patent drawing. The patent number in the reprint matches the patent number on my Atwood pipe, and the shape appears identical. Additionally, the pipe bears the stamp “53 [large] 2 [small]”, likely indicating the second pipe he made in 1953. The Atwood name is prominently displayed in script. The stem bears an “A” in script.
