Portland Pipe Company

[Purvi]

I bought a Portland Pipe Co. sandblast billiard about Dunhill size 4. Nice pipe. Labeled made in London. Does anyone know anything about this company? It looks very classical, i.e. Dunhill'ish. Nice smoker. Just curious.

Pipedia says that "Topsail Portland" was a Barling seconds line.

I'm researching "Portland London Made" pipes because I found one that's very inexpensive and needs restoration which I'd love to do to make it nice again and also come across the Pipedia Topsall notation. However, I found further indication that it is a Barling made pipe in the following eBay link for a BB&S (Barling) pipe made for the Portland Pipe Co. I'm still trying to track down that company specifically, but my guess is you found a good pipe to hold onto.

The downside is you have to supply your own bowl....
