Here's a Whitehall "Canadians"

[tuold]

I saw this dirty old pipe on ebay and knew I'd be the only bidder. It actually looked worse when I got in front of me. I swear somebody covered it in shoe polish then buried it for several decades. Other than the dirt, I don't think it was ever smoked more than two or three times.

It's nice to have another Canadian in the rotation.
So that makes my fourth Whitehall. Here are my other three:

Great find and clean up! How did you remove the "shoe polish"?

I started scrubbing with Simple Green then switched to alcohol and a toothbrush. I ended up doing quite a bit of sanding followed the usual buffing and waxing.

Nice work tuold. It looks much better with some color.
