My first estate purchase to clean up. From the modest price I paid, I assume it's a post transition pipe. At least I hope it is, as it's the first pipe I'm cleaning up myself, and if I'm going to make a mistake, I'd rather it be on a post transition Sasieni and not a pipe of some value.
The pipe is actually far cleaner than the ebay photos would have suggested. It may have been smoked a handful of times, and that's about it. The stem is cleaning up nicely, and the chamber is taking a salt and Everclear bath for the next 24 hours. Assuming I don't destroy anything, I'll post some after photos. Here are some of the before photos.
If anyone can help me put a timeframe on when it was manufactured, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
