| Castello Shapes 3 |
| #38 - Oval shank Horn. Not common or readily available - no information. [?] |
| #39 - Slightly bent Yacht or Horn with an oval or rounded shank and taper bit. This shape varies from slender to fat and chubby. Not real common or popular and rarely seen in a G/GG size. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO] |
| NOTE: In 1989 Castello
started making a medium sized fairly slender elongated shaped style with a forward pitch, an shank, taper bit and slightly bent shank and stem. This is a very attractive shape that is lightweight, modern and usually well grained. We have seen these stamped #37, #38 & #39, although usually #38. [SR, OA, CO, CS, TM] |
| #41 - This is a new shape re-introduced in 1990. Small, slender
stacked rounded billiard styled bowl with a long thin round shank and a short (usually slightly bent) taper bit. Very limited availability with no G/GG pieces. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO]. |
|
 #54 - Classic 1/2 bent
Bulldog or bent Rhodesian with a diamond shank and saddle bit. This is a very popular
shape although it is limited in production. During the second half of 1989 this shape
became quite common although we do not expect this high availability to continue.
Occasionally found with a taper bit and commonly found with briar extensions on the
mouthpiece. Common with a stick bit and ferrule made of briar, lucite or dressed with a
silver "cup". Also fairly common in G/GG sizes today. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO, FA,
GL] |
 #55 - Slightly bent short
chubby squat Pot with a short shank and taper bit. This is a fairly common although not
popular shape that has thick wall and a medium large capacity. Not readily available in
G/GG sizes. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO] |
 #56 - Straight classic
diamond shank Bulldog with taper, saddle or "army" bit. This is a very popular
shape that is quite common in all finishes and sizes. Usually has thick walls and
available in G/GG. Occasionally stamped "Greatline" and found either extra,
extra large or with a natural rough top rim. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO, EP, FA] |
| #60 - This shape number is currently used for a straight square
shanked panel. Not a classic square bowed panel, but more of a paneled Apple and occasionally slightly bent. Uses either a square saddle or taper bit. Not generally available in G/GG sizes and not very common. This number has been used in the past for a bent Apple, however we have not seen one of these in quite a while. [SR, OA, CS, CO] |
| #63 - 3/4 bent Apple with a round shank and army style stick bit. This shape always uses a ferrule or shank extension of either Lucite or briar and has a rounded top rim. Not available in the G/GG size and not real common, although fairly popular. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO] |
| #64 - 1/2 bent fancy Apple with ferrule and fancy stick bit. Is not
a common shape, nor readily available. No information. [?] |
#49 - Medium large classic Calabash with a ferrule
and stick bit. This is a very popular style that is readily available in all finishes.
Shank extensions are found in either Lucite or Briar and occasionally in a silver
"cup". Variations include natural rough tops, square shanks, diamond shanks and
"paneled" bowls. Fairly common in G/GG sizes. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO,
EP, FA, GL]
