Dunhill Dress Stain Question.
Do the pipe the way you like it. No matter what you do somebody is going to have a problem with it. A clean pipe with a nice stem and sharp stamps will usually do pretty well.- xrundog

Reviving an old Pete 307 style
Yeah. Dig out what you can with dental picks or the like. I will stuff cotton in a well , soak with alcohol and see what it wicks up. Usually quite a bit. Do that until not much comes out. Swab it with alcohol q-tips to get the last bit.- xrundog

Dunhill Dress Stain Question.
Looked at some images to refresh my memory. They do indeed come new black. I imagine the heat fades that pretty fast. The few secondary market pipes look a lot like yours. I might polish it by hand with micromesh cloth and wax it. If you don’t like it, it’s easy enough to dye it later.- xrundog

OJK in an ornate RBC billiard. The cap and band have an art nouveau strawberry motif. I’m pretty sure it’s 19th century.- xrundog

This is not a criticism. If you are rounding edges, maybe use a soft buffing wheel. I use soft whhels and don’t have a problem rounding edges or blurring stamps. I also use very little pressure. It does probably take more time though.- xrundog

Is this cake starting or is it burning out after 2 smokes?
Your probably still tasting bowl coating. If it’s burning out you’ll taste burnt wood. It’s very distinctive.- xrundog
