Yeah, I got a nice pipe for Christmas, but I couldn't resist this little cute Comoy's shape 157. So I'm calling it my New Years pipe. I'm not familiar with this shape, and it's rather small maybe about a group 3 and a little over 5 inches. It was in rough shape and had a shank crack repaired rather poorly, as the band slid right off. I also don't know how old this pipe is but it does have the 3 piece C, and is stamped on the bottom of the bowl, Comoy's Sandblast, Made in London over England and 157. But the stamping is poor mainly due to being stamped over the sandblast rather than in a smooth spot. The C had little cracks all around, but I put a little super glue on it and wiped it off so it would fill in the cracks and stabilize the C. I then went ahead and restored the stem and briar with the usual methods with micro mesh, polishing and waxing. The little cracks are still there but are not noticeable without magnification.
I filled it up with an old friend that I dug out after reading the 3 Nuns umm, conversation, PS Luxury Bullseye Flake. Forgot how good this stuff is!
