Haven't been here for a while, been busy fixing up the fixer-upper we bought last fall. I have had this pipe for about a year and planned on sending to George for restoration, but since he is trying to reduce his backlog this pipe has been sitting in a drawer for a year and I finally decided to give it a go. Came out pretty nice from a crusted, oxidized condition with the inner tube cemented into the stummel with tar. I was able to save the Reg'd stamp on the stem and free the inner tube without damage.
Ran an inaugural bowl of Filmore through it this morning, sweet and dry. I actually appreciate inner tube pipes as they have a straight, smooth airway from the bowl to the lip and, for me, they usually don't gurgle.
