▲ (Left side) ◊ Jacobean, De Luxe ◊ (Right side) ◊ 3 ◊
According to Wilczak & Colwell,
op. cit. Jacobean could be a French label (
La Bruyere) or an English one (
Masta and/or
Josiah Brown). Given the logo on its stem (
JB) the English origin of this pipe seems more probable all the more since the model # "3" in
the Masta chart tallies quite well with this piece.

◊ Made in London, England 0, PAT. No. 116989/17 ◊
▲ Like
Dunhill pipes, Parkers were also date coded but had a independant cycle. From 1950 through 1957 (at least) the date suffix run from an underlined and raised
0 to
7. This pipe dates from
1950.
The yellowish cloud around the logo comes from a reservation of this zone when buffing the stem. This color is due to the ebonite's oxydation.
