Impulse Estate Purchase - Stanwell

Long time since my last post, but I needed to share this with someone. My significant other, for reasons I can't quite understand, never shares in my enthusiasm for these things.
I've been keeping my eye open for a made in Denmark Stanwell for some time now, and happened to come across an estate at a (relatively) local pipe shop. I've also been wanting to add a spigot/army mount to my meagre collection so what the heck - two birds stoned.
Markings include a crowned 'S' logo on the stem, 'Stanwell' stamped on the mount and shank, Regd. No. 969-48, Hand Made, Made in Denmark, 27 on the opposite side. I believe that makes it early 70s or prior.
I'm quite pleased!

I agree MSO, not that I have anything against Italian made pipes, but I cherish my Canadian, GB and American made pipes and am excited to have a pipe from Denmark in the collection. And thank you everyone for the kind words and shared excitement.
The inaugural smoke was terrible. I dug the tobacco out after about 10 minutes with it to figure out what the heck was going on. After the pipe cooled down, I went at it with a bristled pipe cleaner with some alcohol and the sludge that I pulled out was startling. Half a dozen additional pipe cleaners came out pitch black. They must have 'restored' the pipe by reaming and coating the bowl with some sort of oil-sands byproduct.
When I bought it I had noticed a little pipe cleaner fluff stuck to the bottom of the bowl which I couldn't easily pry out. It's apparent now that they had put a pipe cleaner down the shank when they coated the bowl - and whatever they had used was applied thickly enough to hang on to some of the fluff.
Much more cleaning, a cotton ball and alcohol treatment overnight, and a bit more cleaning this morning and I think we are in business.
I will give it another shot tomorrow - im hoping for a marked improvement!
