[ssjones]

This '47 Super Briar Bark belongs to a pipe buddy. It has an amazing blast. The oxidation on the stem and hole took some effort,but I'm pleased with the result. Full details here:

Al, that is some restoration. The blast is amazing and the stem looks brand new. Your buddy is a lucky guy.

Love the simplicity of that pipe. That's one I'd reach for, or have to resist, every time.

Some of the older Parkers are pretty jazzy. The dated ones are hard to come by. Nice score all around Al!
