It’s been a few years since I last wrote to you. I still refer to your article when I have a question regarding Sasieni pipes as I find it an invaluable resource. I have a new question for you. Has Sasieni ever produced pipes with a reissue of the fishtail logo? I’m aware of the reissue of 8 dots, but haven’t heard about a reissue of the original logo. I’ve just seen a Sasieni pipe that has a natural colored sandblasted finish, an acrylic stem and the pre-war stampings, but no patent number.

thank you for your time and attention,

Jesse Silver

london made in a oval shape having thoughts of selling it might rethink that option.

Curious to know if you’ve ever heard the rationale for the fish flourish on the Sasieni signature? It seems contrived, and so I wondered if Joel Sasieni was a man of Christian faith as the fish rivals only the cross for most identifiable Christian image.
As a recent pipeman, and a minister as well, I found this symbol on the stem intriguing and just wondered. There doesn’t seem to be any info online about this other than the fish being used to date the pipes. Know anything? I understand you are an agnostic, but maybe this’ll spark some spiritual questing. ?? Lemme know if you find anything as I am always having to justify my interests in terms of good Christian conduct, but of course, I conduct myself and pull stuff like this into my sermons and other writing. :)
Thanks.

I was extremely fond of Harold and we were very close. I think of him so often. Sadly, for reasons best left interred with Jess, we drifted apart. Coming across your story about the reject pipes I was instantly transported to Harold’s wonderful company in the drawing room of 4 KPH, Wren’s Hill, enjoying the stories of his business career. Thank you for the pleasure.
I don’t know whether this message goes to you, Robert Butcher, or to the owner of the murderofravens website – but if you do ever receive it I’d like you to know how much your great uncle meant to me and how much he was loved.

I found it because I’ve just purchased in an antiques collective, what I suspect is one of the earliest Sasieni’s! Can you verify this? The style is a Bedford, I’m pretty sure. It has a single blue dot on top of the stem. The Sasieni logo has the ‘fishtail’ flourish. It says ” London Made Rustic Made in England” I can’t see a patent number, though there is a number “17′ turned on it’s side on the lefthand side of the logo panel and a number “7″ to the right of the logo. There’s also a 7 on the stem.
You may be interested to know that I’m a 66 year old woman who recently had a wonderful affair with a pipe smoking Texas photographer…and we shared his pipe. I so loved it, that after our relationship ended, I decided to find my own. My new pipe has changed my life. I brought it home, lit the fireplace, and with a good book and my cat in my lap, I lit up. What a wonderful life changing experience. Normally I would have turned on the computer instead! I’ve made this my evening ritual and I think I’ll add a bit of Couvasier as well. I AM a bit concerned about
the possible health consequences, but I guess at my age…..
Thanks, Steve, for any info you might have for me.
Oh, one more thing. My pipe came in it’s own box, obviously very old, red with white lettering including the wonderful Lasienei fishtail logo. It says ” Matured by Patent Process The Lasieni Pipe Fully Guaranteed – London Made.” Inside the lid in red type it says ” Guarantee
A new pipe will be given in ixchange should any fault develop in smoking” Lasieni Logo again.
I paid only the grand sum of $20. for this jewel and don’t intend to sell it, but would you have
an idea of it’s value?
