=== Introduction ===
Greetings to all GBD fans,
Finally finished an update to the GBD Shapes page, the number of shape numbers listed is now about doubled!
Remember that the descriptions are somewhat arbitrary on my part, your idea of what an 1/8 bent stem looks like may not be the same as mine!
I've had access to a couple of older catalogs recently and it is ocassionally difficult to describe some of the shapes that were made 80 years ago in modern(?) pipe terminology. For example, many of these older shapes seemed to have bowls that were angled slightly forward relative to the stem; some were only canted forward a few degrees while others had enough of a forward tilt that I felt that a reverse bend notation was required in the description.
One change I've made to the Shapes page is that I have deleted the example photos column. According to my server access records there just weren't enough people viewing the files to warrant the amount of server space they were taking up.
What I may do in the future is move some of those example photos to the lines page, there I can select one example per finish instead of having multiple examples sorted by shape number.
This list is guaranteed inaccurate and incomplete !
I have tried to determine if there was some system behind the GBD numbering scheme and so far I can't find one. They are not entirely random but they don't seem to follow a pattern either. Maybe I don't have enough information yet to figure it out.
One thing I feel confident about is that GBD used the same numbering system across all of their pipe lines, I have 3 or 4 GBD seconds that have the same model numbers as identically shaped firsts.
Note: A lot of this info is second-hand and as I have received conflicting descriptions for the same number so I do not guarantee that all of these are correct. Please feel free to correct me if you are positive that I have blundered! :-) 
Like most people, I am liable to interpret shapes and angles differently than others might interpret them; again, correct me if I am totally off the mark!
This list is only a small percentage of all the model numbers. If you have any additional numbers or can fill in the "unknowns" please send me the information. If you do send information please try to limit it to the four key identifying items used in the list below. Bit information is not too relevant as GBD bits were not necessarily the same between lines and years for the same shape number. For example I have four 269 Bulldogs and between them there are three different shaped bits.
The shapes marked with a ? have conflicting descriptions, shapes with an * are non standard bowl shapes, and stem angles with a "rev" conotation refer to pipes with bowls that are canted forward.
