"buzzjack's" pipe offers
"buzzjack" John Allen about himself:
"I have been in the pipe repair business for 23 years with Epiperepairs.com, and just recently started making my own pipes. (In 2007.) I start with quality aged briar (the same briar that Tim West and other well known pipe carvers use). I carve, drill, bore, sand, stain, buff, and polish the briar, and i fit it with a custom made stem. Most pipe makers who create their own pipes spend 80% of the work time on just the sanding (i know because they would send them to me to install a stem). Because of all the hours spent on sanding, the retail of their pipes would be $200.00 to $300.00. I have decided to spend less time on sanding to keep the prices down. My pipes will smoke as well as a more expensive pipe, but at much less of a cost, especially for a hand made pipe. My shop has all the tools as the well known carvers: Band Saw, Belt Sanders, Flat Sander, 1/4 Rounded Lathe Sander, plus all of the hand held tools needed to get the job done. Even though i have the machinery to get the pipes done, i still do most of the work with my hands and eyes. I feel this gives my work a true hand made result."
John Allen offered his first pipes as "Roughriders". More recently they get stamped "Allen". 
The following pipe is marked ALLEN and HANDMADE. It may have been made by John Allen, or perhaps by George Allen. If you have information about who made this pipe, or about George Allen, please add it here or send it to sethile.pipes@gmail.com and we can add it for you.

Allen & Wright

Hopefully we can find additional information about Allen & Wright, but for now we do have these interesting materials, including a beautifully cased pipe, and another example. Allen & Wright appears to be a tobacconist with multiple locations that had an extensive line of pipes. It is unclear if they were making the pipes, or they were made for them by another firm or firms.

Allerton

Some of the Allerton pipes are known to be made Comoy's sub-brand / second. The logo on the example below is an oak leaf with an acorn. Other examples have the ALLERTON stamping in all caps, and MADE IN ENGLAND in a linear or circular stamp, with matching shape numbers to the Comoy's shape chart. 
Allerton is a village in Liverpool, England, and these pipes might be branded for a tobacconist in that tourist area.

Alpha

Alpha was originally a brand of the Shalom Pipe Factory in Israel, owned by Bernard Hochstein, former CEO of Mastercraft. 
The Alpha line was made exclusively for export to the United States. They were made in Israel from the 1970s into the 1980s, at which point the name was sold to Mastercraft, and later to Lane, Ltd., who produced very few Lane Alpha pipes at the end of the 1990's. Lane Alphas were sold in five finishes, each denoted with a Greek letter. After Lane, Mastercraft again marketed the Alpha, under the name Alpha USA, with finishes named Sierra, Delta, Mark V, Blue Ridge, Sabre, and Big Boy, some of which were not stamped with the Alpha name.
Among others, the Israeli made Alpha pipes were available in a line marketed as "Citation".

Alternative Woods Used For Pipe making

While briar root pipes are by far the most common wooden pipes, a wide range of other woods have been used. Times in which briar is scarce or completely unavailable (war, economic depression, etc.) have prompted curious carvers to explore the properties of alternative and more abundant materials. While softer, less porous or more susceptible to burning than briar, a temporary solution is often better than not smoking at all. The following woods have been used for smoking pipes to various extents:
* Maple
* Cherry 
* Black Walnut
* Oak
* Olive
* Rosewood
* Manzanita
* Mesquite-wood
* Beech
* Hickory
* Mountain Laurel
* Mahogany
* Ebony
* Jujube
* Buxuse
* Jichi-mu
* Wenge
<revive zone="17" align="left" caption="Many thanks to Missouri Meerschaum Company for their Underwriting support" />
Of all the woods listed, only Cherry remains common as a substitute for briar. Large-scale makers of cherry wood pipes are fewer in number, but include Ropp which has an extensive line of natural cherry wood carved from the wood and showing the actual bark, and the Missouri Meerschaum Co. which is better known for their corn-cob pipes. Ozark Mountain series, Maple and Cherrywood pipes
While now known for manufacturing Briar pipes, major Danish marque Stanwell began in 1942 as a producer of danish beechwood pipes. The political circumstances of the time made the importation of briar from standard sources such as the U.K. and France impossible. At the end of the war, normal trade resumed and imported briar became Poul Nielsen's wood of choice. Despite this, the company has not forgotten its humble roots and currently offers a commemorative beechwood pipe in its original bulldog design. The pipe is small, which was also a product of hard times. Tobacco, in addition to briar, was made scarce by the World Wars.
== Morta ==
Another material of particular interest may actually be considered a stone rather than an 'alternative wood.' Morta, or partially fossilized wood, has been used to a limited extent in the making of tobacco pipes. The substance is formed when timber submerged in an anaerobic environment such as a peat bog is unable to decompose along normal lines. Instead, the wood begins the long process of petrification. In addition to his briar pipes, carver Trevor Talbert produces a line of pipes that uses 4,500 year-old oak morta from the marshy regions of north-western France. In comparison to briar, morta presents its own set of challenges; first and foremost of which is the process of acquisition. Morta must first be located and extracted from the partially submerged soft ground in which it lies. The process of "poling" uses long iron rods to probe the earth for the hard logs. Once identified, the material is arduously extracted in great quantity. As with briar, a great deal of raw morta must be gathered due to the fact that after removing damaged or flawed material, little usable wood remains. The morta is then carved into pipes by a process described in great detail here on Trevor Talbert's website.
Alternative Woods Used For Pipemaking

Although briar pipes are by far the most popular, various other woods are also used by pipe makers (one example would be cherry wood).

Altinay

----
Pipe Co. Ltd. was founded in Eskisehir/Turkey in 1964 by Necdet ALTINAY, when 23 years old, as a small meerschaum carving workshop. 
Altinay carved his first meerschaum pipe at 14 years of age. 
The master carver Necdet ALTINAY has trained other carvers of repute including Nedim Altınay(son) and Said ALTINAY(grandson), who trained under him. 
ALTINAY sells pipes for export, made by master Nedim and Said in their own workshop. 
 
They currently produce pipes with their own brand besides Andreas Bauer, Rattray's line of meerschaum pipes as well.
HISTORY OF ALTINAY 
Necdet Altınay (1941-2018), who worked in various jobs from a young age to support his family, entered the meerschaum carving sector at the age of 14 and became a meerschaum master at a young age by training from the best masters of the time.
After developing himself in all areas of meerschaum carving such as compositions, sculptural works, famous claw figures until the age of 23, he founded Altınay Pipe Co. in 1964 and started working on purely classical style pipes by noticing the important deficiency in the pipe industry about classical style meerschaum pipes.
He has developed his skills on classical pipes with tactics he received from European pipe masters and has gained an important place in the sector with international fairs he attented regularly.
The importance he attaches to quality and customer satisfaction in his business has made the ALTINAY brand a popular and sought-after brand in meerschaum sector. And soon started exporting worldwide, America, Russia China and especially in Europe through distributors.
Besides his own brand ALTINAY, he also produced meerschaum pipes for world famous brands such as Dunhill, Peterson, Savinelli, Chacom, Brebbia, ButzChoquin. As it is already for Rattrays and Andreas Bauer now.
After working 3 generations together for several years, before he passed away in 2018, largely transferred his superior skills and vision to his son (Nedim Altınay,1967) and grandson(Said Altınay,1990), whom he worked and trained for many years.
Now Nedim and Said are working together to take the company further in His quality and vision…
You buy premium meerschaum pipes of exceptional qulity from finest quality meerschaum blocks carved by Nedim ALTINAY and Said ALTINAY on our store.
We design each pipe to appeal to those who share our passion for – and appreciation of – mastery behind a beautiful meerschaum pipe. We hope you enjoy the same satisfaction when you try an ALTINAY pipe, as we do in carving one…

Altinok

Meerschaum brand produced by Altinok-Pipe Ltd. 
Sinan Altinok was born to a happy family in 1958 as the first son of his parents in Ankara, Turkey. He lived in the same city until now graduating many schools, working for national and multi-national companies as an electronics engineer (EE BSc) more than twenty years in IT field. After retirement, he decided to follow his inner call to develop a website about his country’s well-known handicrafts. His first project to accomplish this started in year 2002 and it was about meerschaum pipes. It was the same year that Altinok Pipes was born bringing up the most valuable ‘stone’ to the eye of the pipe smoking world over his website altinokpipes.com. Having worked with the best carvers of the nation helped him to carry his business to a higher level every year demanding more pipes from all over the world. So far so good. More than 50 countries have been delivered to date, from Canada to Tasmania west to east, from Finland to South Africa north to south. He is very pleased of getting to know hundreds of nice people from different nations. That was the bonus of all.
Sinan loves traveling more than anything in company with a lovely wife. He has traveled to 30+ countries so far and counting. Another passion of him is photography. Besides taking pipe photos for the web store in his home studio, he, in fact, has a good amount of travel shots waiting to be exposed. Another project would be a good one for him to start a blog about this. Who knows! Last but not least, acting in some TV series and theatres has been another passion for him starting from his young ages. He still enjoys acting with a great love.https://www.altinokpipes.com/about

Amarcord

Amarcord is a sub-brand - not a second! - of Il Ceppo. Introduced as "the new Italian pipe entirely hand-made by an artisan from the Pesaro school" Amarcord was launched in 2007.
As recently heard, Franco Rossi has a young pipemaker (name?) as a partner in his workshop for some time past. So, probably the Amarcord pipes are rather made by Rossi's partner.
