Wondered if anyone has one and would be willing to provide some rough measurements. I bought mine unsmoked on ebay, and I expected it to be a big ol' honker. I have seven others in the SH series and I've found each of them to be a pretty good handful in their relative shapes, and in comparison this one seems rather dainty. Then today I received an email from Smokingpipes offering the JUNIOR Baskerville and Watson, and darned if the dimensions of mine don't seem pretty close! If I'm honest I've always been a bit disappointed that the size wasn't what I expected, and now I'm wondering if this one is somehow a Junior size, although it's certainly not marked as such (I don't know if the ones from SP are either). I've attached a crude drawing and some dimensions; mind you these are very rough, taken by eyeball with a steel rule, but I'd like some comparison if anyone can help. Thanks in advance...

Here is the dimensions of one that was sold on tobaccopipes.com and looks close to yours. Take a measurement diagonally and see what you get for a pipe length. That might be how they measure it, like a T.V. set maybe? Not sure but wondering for myself if you can tell us what yours measures like that for length.

Nice pipe, doesn't seem too small to me, however I tend to like smaller pipes as I generally don't have a lot of time to smoke them. Let me know if you want to sell it.
