I hate to say how much I paid for it,
ok $8.00 :D
I dug through a large basket for several minutes until I came across the BBB Diamond emblem so I grabbed it. It was well used and heavily crusted with cake so I figured it was at least a good smoker.

Not much done other than getting out the cake. I took it down to the briar and probably could have used a bit more fine sanding. The stem just got a Oxyclean soak, and buff with Magic Eraser, the briar was scrubbed with a toothbrush and OxyClean then hand buffed with carnuba wax. It only has had a few small bowls smoked and it is a fine smoker.
Lots of beautiful birds-eye on this beauty!

Classic beauty, congratulations! The money spent only hurts temporarily but the enjoyable smokes can go on for many years to come.

Thanks for the kind replies. It is a real looker for sure, I like it a bunch.
I have been trying out some microfiber sanding pads of late and find they have been doing a real nice job on my latest acquisition. Once this one needs a clean up I'll use the MF pads on it to see how much better it can be.
