I just won this auction (I do really well when I’m the only bidder) for this Parker:
What intrigued me was the seller’s description:
—-
Parker rusticated billiard pipe.
A nice old Parker rusticated billiard. The rustification has worn smooth giving testimozny to many years of faithful service. ThE bowl rim is slightly out of round buT nothing disastorous. The pipe is a full six inches long, 1 1/2" bowl height and 1" bowl width. Stem still has the faint P in a diamond. The bottom of the shank is stamped Parker Super Bruyere Bark and Made in London England, a 4 in a circle, and 152.

Can anyone tell me what I bought?
I’ll bet it’s sandblasted, not rusticated.
