Tilt pipe

I recently won a bid on a vintage "Tilt" pipe made in France for ZAR 80 which is quite cheap to me. I can't find much on these pipes on the internet and was wondering if any of you are familiar with them and is it any good? I haven't smoke it yet as I'm still busy restoring it.

More Oregonians? Cant walk around my block without walking through a cloud of smoke. I think maybe Cheech and Chong bought a house on the block.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for posting the pics but I'm unable to see the pics, anyone else having the same problem?

I got a call from the fraud department of one of my credit cards this morning because there were purchases made in Pretoria yesterday, using my card (seriously). If they'd have told me that one of the charges was for a Tilt Pipe I'd have accepted it :).

That is a unique pipe!
Does anyone know what makes it a "Tilt" pipe?

On a side note, what type of uniform is that in the background? Were you in the military?

Hi Rick,

Thanks for re-posting your pics. I assume that it's me (Chromebook) when I can't see pictures because that's often the case.

Nice job of restoring the pipe.

I've seen the shape before and my first impression is that it was a rare shape from Cadogan IGBD, Comoy) but I can't be definitive. Cadogan made several shapes with wide oval shanks.

Enjoy it.

Regards,

Pete

Thanks Mark. I think the make is Tilt. On the top of the shank is a star shape logo with the wording "Tilt" inside. At the bottom of the shank is written "made in France" with "543" which I assume is the model nr.

The uniform in the background was my Dad's uniform. He was a Captain in the South African Police Force. I followed in his footsteps and am today also a Captain in the SAPS as is my sister and brother-in law. Our uniforms differ a bit from the one you can see here as our flag and police logo changed after 1994.

Thanks Pete. Like I said, there is not any info on this pipe on the internet. For $5.71 including a genuine leather vintage tobacco pouch and pipe tool I will definitely enjoy this one.
