Did anyone see this thing on ebay?

After Cleaning it for a couple of hours.

I will get it better, but I have to pack a bowl and see how this huge piece of briar smokes. It is a Custombuilt, the bowl is 2 inches OD with an .875 ID 1.5 deep.

you should set a lighter or something to give it some size perspective. That is a cool pipe.

That's a great pipe, Red. If I remember correctly, Tracy Mincer started the Custombuilt line and later developed The Doodler as well.
Terrific job breathing some life back into this old burner. It certainly looks like there's more than a few years left in her yet.
