50. The mould for this pipe still survives with the present generation of the Southern family and would have been a three-piece mould, with the bowl and the mouthpiece of the pipe being moulded in seperate pieces, giving rise to the possibility of the rifle design being used on the stems of different types of pipes. The mould is stamped faintly 'E. COTTER IL - KING ST BIRMM', of E dwin Cotteril & Co., patent lock manu factur er, Vittoria Work s, Birming ham. My thanks to Ivor and Gra hame Southern for allowing me to examine this mould (cf. p. 49 above). 51. It would appear that James Nathaniel Sheppard worked with or for Alfred Charles Jack, for one of these pipes is now known bearing a paper label showing the trade-mark 'LAVAMER' - as shown on the pipe in drawing no. 86 (F igure 24). See Clay Pipe Collectors Club Newsletter no. 8, October 1984 for illustration of Rd. No. 352153 (cf. p. 90 above). 52. This pipe is illustrated in the Turpin catalogue as no. 115. Several examples of this pipe still surviving with the Turpin family have blue­ ink stamps on their stems bearing political slogans, such as 'BROTHERTON FOR WAKEFIELD', 'CHAMBERIAIN FOR EVER', 'TARRIF REFORM THIS TIME' and 'WE ARE FOLLOWING HIS FOOTSTEPS'. A special publication dealing with the Turpin & Sons pipe making business of Macclesfield is hoped to be published in due course (cf. p. 100 above).
