Hey Guys, I bought this pipe on ebay awhile back, it was in Bulgaria. I knew it was rough but didn't realize just how rough till it came in. The top of the bowl looked like it had been melted, it was all misshapen. The finish was almost black from tobacco residue, and the stem was extremely oxidized. After lots of elbow grease, sanding, cleaning and buffing, it is ready to be smoked. It still has some tooth chatter, but overall is in pretty good shape for being almost 100 years old. I had originally bought this to restore and re-sell, but it has a hairline crack on the top of the bowl on one side, so I'm just going to keep it and enjoy it. I love old Pete's anyways. I normally take before and after shots, but I just tore into this one and forgot. Here is the finished product.
