WILKE BRIARS

Last of the 1950's Wilke's

The old Wilkes storefront

As you may know when we acquired the Wilke Pipe Shop some years ago, a rather extensive inventory of fine natural finish pipes came along with it. Included with that collection was several boxes of unmounted bowls. Time passed, and we never got around to mounting the stems and finishing them until now......

These 500 pipes represent an era of production pipemaking that is long gone. Many of these pipes were turned in the original Cadogan GBD factory as well as the famed Arlington Briar Pipe Company of New York. Some of the pipes available are the extra large shapes favored by Wilke pipemaker Joe Cortigano.

Keep in mind these have been sitting around for fifty years and are excellent smoking pipes. Most of the pipes are made from vintage Algerian Briar and have already aged to a lovely patina that will only be enhanced with smoking. While we have multiple of most of the classic shapes in different qualities, there are not as many of the larger more unusual shapes that wilke was famous for.

You will find a representation of each shape here on the website but please feel free to call about other pieces available.

This is a great opportunity to acquire several unsmoked vintage Wilke Natural Briar pipes, enjoy them
