I think that Civic-era Centurions were leftover stummels, and were sold by Civic until they were gone, much like transition period Barlings were. I also feel that the encircled Made in England is a giveaway that it's a Haymarket era piece. I have only seen one Centurion that was sold as being a Civic era, and I noted no visible differences between it and a Haymarket Centurion. I don't think we're talking big numbers with Civic era Centurions, and my best guess is as stated above.

There appears to have been a transition period with Loewe, as some of these have superior stems as the Haymarket pipes did, and some are abysmal, which I will attribute to Civic manufacture. Just to play it safe, if the pipe has simply L&Co on the left shank and nothing else, and the shape name printed on the bottom of the shank, winner winner chicken dinner. I don't trust any Originals or Standards not to be Civics in disguise. All Centurions appear to be safe, and the one blast I have is good as well.

It would be early Cadogan era. The Captanide is the Loewe designation for the Prince shape. There is a good likelihood that Loewe was the creator of this shape and was then copied by all the rest. In any event a Loewe Captanide is the most desirable of all Prince shapes IMO.

Same catalog shapes as Orlik, just lesser grain and molded stems. Early on, lower Orlik lines had hand cut stems just like the higher lines. Not sure if this was the case with early Royal Sovereigns or not. In any event, like any Orlik they're bound to be great smokers.

Depending on the condition you may get upwards of $100 for it. I've paid $15 for Loewe estates, and I've paid $200 for Loewe estates. You'll get market value by listing it on eBay, but market value depends on the condition of the pipe. Good luck!

There is very little Orlik info on the web.

That's what they claimed, and yes 3. day job more often than not sucks everything good out of me and I have no energy for stuff I enjoy Sun, 4 Jan 2015 20:11:06 +0000 http://cakeanddottle.com/pipe-rack/guides/73-dating-loewe-pipes#IDComment937483127 http://cakeanddottle.com/pipe-rack/guides/73-dating-loewe-pipes#IDComment922285010 Everything I know about Loewe tells me that the Mounted Series and 9xx shape numbers are Civic era production. I would check that hallmark again.

I belive the graphic flyer is 50s era and the black and white is 1960s. This is only my opinion, based on what I know about the chronology of the make.

Perhaps fine pipes in their own right, but not desirable. Similar to the relationship between Comoy's and Chapuis-Comoy (Chacom), except in the case of Loewe the shape catalogs are different.

It's perfectly proportioned and more compact than most Liverpools. A small group 4 and a great flake pipe. The Civic era Loewe Liverpool's were closer to GBD Liverpool's in proportion, but the Haymarket era Liverpool is a unique and excellent interpretation.
