Another Sasieni 2nd line Ashford shape, I can't resist them. This one a 688SN. The tenon is threaded for a stinger, so I suspect it is from early in the Family Era?
Full details here. The bowl was in terrific shape and stem nearly mint - it had one tiny hairline crack on top of the button.

This one will eventually be resold.

Nice pipe Al. I'd say only the couple of small flaws are what kept it from being a first. Nice bird's eye on both sides; one often finds some very nice grain on pre-war "seconds". The hardware, I'd guess the "cannister" style, which threaded onto another small piece that itself threaded into the stem. SN...Saddle stem, Natural finish.
