# Numbered Bamboo pipes produced either between the late 1950s and 1970, or produced from the 1980s to the present. These pipes were, and are, produced according to shapes listed in contemporaneous Stanwell catalogs. As the Stanwell shape catalog has changed over time, so too have the pipe shapes in the Bamboo lines. | |||
# Non-numbered Bamboo pipes produced during the1970s, made by a Mr Larsen (exactly which Larsen - as there are many within Danish and Stanwell pipe history - is unknown). These pipes were shaped loosely around pre-existing shapes in the Stanwell catalog, but with variations in form allowed in order to produce pipes which best reflected the affordances of each individual bamboo piece, as well as the quality of individual briar blocks. | # Non-numbered Bamboo pipes produced during the1970s, made by a Mr Larsen (exactly which Larsen - as there are many within Danish and Stanwell pipe history - is unknown).
