▲ This is probably not a pipe from the Dutch Big-Ben brand for following reasons:
- No hyphen between Big and Ben.
- Pipes figuring under "Silverking" or "Gold King" display stampings and a logo entirely similar to those.

荷蘭Big Ben與英國B.B.B煙斗在民國60年(1971)~較早以水貨引進台灣。

因為當年從香港引進(仿冒品)，品質低劣所以給早年斗客印象~非常糟。

直至老娘引進真正原廠老斗後許多斗友才轉變看法~因而造成收藏熱潮。

【三千五百元整】粗估為50s年代斗型的荷蘭原廠老古董斗(值得收藏)。
