I can't believe I picked up this little gem for $35 on the bay. It was a bit funky and there are some small cracks on the rim. I sent it off to Walker Pipe Repair and they did a great job except they wouldn't touch the cracks but they told me that upfront. I'm going to use it was a flake pipe anyhow. If they cracks get worse, then I'll deal with it then via JB Weld on the outside and pipe mud on the inside.
I have a few British OTC Virginia flakes waiting patiently to be smoked.... St Bruno and Walnut Flake are on deck...... It's only 24g, a perfect lunting pipe.....
(I also picked up a 1961 Shell but I paid $61 for it and the restoring turned out brown which seems strange for a Dunhill Shell but it still looks good to me).
