Need help ID-ing a "no name" estate pipe

[TampaSupremo]

Hey all,

Here's what I've got, see if you can help me out:

Straight apple, no brand or markings. Stem appears to be original. the left side says "VIRGIN DE LUXE" and under that is "IMPORTED BRIAR." "DE" and "IMPORTED BRIAR" is in the same font, but smaller point. Medium brown finish. Probably a drugstore pipe, but if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
TampaSupremo

I found this site that seems to have a wealth of info regarding markings and such...

Not sure if it helps, but kinda neat!

I have a pipe I got off of ebay that has similar markings and I've never been able to find anything out about it. It's a bent brandy shape. Best of luck.

Might be a GBD but I could be wrong. Try asking that asking at alt.smokers.pipes

Good Luck

I've been checking out the site, but so far I haven't located it. I may have to resign myself to the fact that it's identity and history will never be known...It's like the hobo of the pipe world.

Comoy and GBD both had a "Virgin" pipe. I guess they could have made a Deluxe version. Comoy also had a Deluxe. Here's a link about Comoy.
