Interesting and very nice. Got a fair amount of coke around that bowl!

My Good God Amighty!
What a fine pipe.
Beautiful resto,

another job well done!
I love the looks of the flowing grain,

and the stubby chubby shape is great.
Wow.
Jawdropt.
You've been on a roll gathering these old boys and saving their graces,

Beautiful work, klause. It's always a pleasure to see these fine old pipes returned to service.

"My Good God Almighty" - well said! What an amazing piece. And excellent job on the clean-up. That was one well-loved pipe.

That does look like the Straight Chubby, Small on the 3/6 price page (top right)

Nothing better than aged briar and effort it takes to clean it up .Your efforts will be rewarded ten fold when you smoke her . Superb !!!!!!

Not much to say, really...

Indeed, the pictures do speak for themselves,

but I do hope that after a special smoking moment,

some words may spring from your fount.

I love reading your writing on such stuff,

always a pure joy.

Troy, I really appreciate the links - thanks very much - that's absolutely cracker. It all adds to my apprecition of the pipe.
Al, i believe you are right - looks like it, alright.

Wow! You have given that golden oldie a new lease on life, and in a big way.

I didn't know Honda was even around back... then... oh wait. It's a pipe! And a lovely job of restoration :clap:

Lovely work klause and neat pipe. I have a similar period civic pipe number 48 on the underside of the stem which is sadly a fair bit more used than yours.

Thanks, chaps.
Anthony, that made me snort my coffee - might need to change m'shirt now!
Owen, any chance of popping up a picture? I'd really like to see it. I'll have another look at mine later to see if there's a number there anywhere - I don't recall seeing one. Would that be the shape number, do you think? Also, I'll try and get a pic of that BBB up later, to give you an idea is size (it's a small pipe)!
