“Pipe by Lee” 2-Star Straight Bulldog Light Cleanup

[Parsimonious Piper]

Gotta love it when an estate arrives looking better than expected.

Light chatter on the stem greatly reduced with just a little heat and micro mesh. No oxidation, so the gunk covering the stars just buffed off. Had to scrub the rim for a while, but the rest of the bowl was in good condition.

Looks good! How does it smoke?

Nice restore. I bet it is a good smoker. I have almost the same pipe and it really surprised me.

Had a little Old Joe Krantz in it…smokes great.

Didn’t you post a little carved PbL bulldog last year? If it’s the post I’m thinking of, I have a couple with the vertical carved stripes. Nice little pipes.

That was mine. It surprised me. I bought it at a flea market for nothing to use as a beater pipe. After I cleaned it up, I was impressed with the way it smoked.

Nice restoration, the pipe cleaned up very nicely.
