SOLD – James Robertson made pipes in Edinburgh from around 1908 until his death in 1948. The company continued until 1964, producing pipes of equal or superior quality as when their founder ran the show.  The manufacturing and tonal consistency of their pipes through more than 50 years of operation was remarkable.

This spectacular set was made and hallmarked in 1952. It came to me crack-free needing only a strip and refinish. All pieces are original except for the mouthpiece, which is modern nickel.

The pipe was robust and steady on my shoulder: the usual exceptional Robertson sound.

Full silver Robertsons are rare and this is a superb example of some of the company’s best work.
