I was fortunate enough to be gifted a family era Guinea Grain for father's day- this is the pipe.
The pipe arrived this morning and it is in wonderful shape, crisp stamps, no stem wear. But my only question is that the finish is almost exactly the same as the other two YOW family pipes that I already own. The grain might be a little more prominent, but I was expecting something a little more 'different'. I am pretty sure the pipe has NOT been refinished. Were Guinea Grain pipes all that different?
