In normal tobacco pipe nomenclature, the FRONT faces AWAY from the smoker.
The BACK faces TOWARD the smoker. The front is always that which is
presented to other people.

It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Thanks to Denis for his reply. The TWs we are after are the ones on the
front, facing smoker, of bowl sometimes in a frame, sometimes with cross
hatched hearts on side. In the North East of England these have been found
with the maker's names in full along the stem - both William Tennant and
Patrick McKenna, which was when we realised it wasn't the maker's initials
(necessarily). I understand that one idea is that the TW stands for 'The
Workman'. We were interested in how far these pipes travel - though if we
can't always be sure of the maker I don't suppose we can claim them for
North East enterprise!
We have a miniature made from an original mould.
