I got this Digby Rusticated Pot shape #9488 this weekend. It is stamped Digby 9488 London Made London England on the bottom of the square Shank. The top of the stem is stamped D.
From what I can gather this was a second of the GBD company. It seems to have first appeared in 1976. I have never liked black pipes and have only started to like some rusticated. I think for $6 I will clean this up and give it a rotation in my growing pile.

Oh, you better hope the Old Cajun doesn't know where you live! He likes Digbys and black blasts!

That pipe should clean up nice, a great find, and for $6 at that!

Thanks everyone. I didn't know there was a difference in blasted and rusticated. Yes blasted then.
I would be surprised if this thing was ever smoked actually.
I could be tempted to trade for an old SON (Nording) throw in a few pipes either way...

I've owned and regularly smoked ~20 very inexpensive pipes. To me they have smoked indistinguishably from pipes that cost me hundreds. This is where I think the seasoned smoker can do well on ebay. If I only bid on auctions where the bidding is slow and avoid all the name carvers/manufacturers, I do well, spending between $50-$75.
