Top photograph shows at the top a selection of 4 Shillelagh. These are stamped FALCON MADE IN ENGLAND and on the humidome is stamped SHILLELAGH. The last two are Falcon Ireland Centre photograph shows a selection of Falcons in natural finish. They are from the left, top row Unmarked Falcon (i.e made in U.S.A.) Falcon Ireland (made in Ireland but I am unaware of dates) lower row Falcon Made in England ROLLIT ; it is absolutely identical to other Falcons, the frame probably cast by Presbar Products and certainly produced at the time of the possible trademark problem in UK There are examples and leaflets from Canada of this pipe, George Hunt having a company there This last one is a Falcon Made in England but has STANDARD stamped on the humidome somewhere there may be a version with ALCO instead of Falcon In July 2004, on Ebay, there was a solid 9 carat gold Falcon (weighing 2 ounces without the meerschaum lined bowl), with an amber mouthpiece, all in a calfskin covered presentation case which went for £175 ($330).six were made, the gold frame being made by Johnson Matthey Bottom photograph shows the Rainbow set (the gilt bent is missing). The colours are offically red, blue, gilt, green, purple The bottom variety is a matt finish, which seems to be a deliberate design feature and would have been one of the last to be cast in USA judging by the mould number Most of the variants of Falcon are here on this site. |
