This is pipe number 4 to get restored from the Mother Load lot I got from my Father in Law. It seems the chap who owned these would just put the pipes back on the rack after smoking and not even clean out the bowl. It had lots of old tobacco and mold on top of that. I reamed this one down to the wood and gave it a good internal scrubbing with Everclear. Then stripped the old wax and grime, re-waxed, polished, deoxidized the stem and polished it up. This is a great little cherrywood poker shape Dunhill size 4. Can't wait to smoke it!
Here is a couple of before shots.
And here are the after restoration shots.
