Anyone Seen Stanwell Featherweight 243 In These Finishes?

[dawnpiper]

I would say I am collecting this 243 shape. I am looking for the bamboo, silver banded, black smooth, and the vario. I have heard some people complain about the finish of the red featherweights... anyone have a red 243 they are looking to get rid of?

Of course if you have seen a 243 in any other finish I would be happy to hear about that as well!

I sold a red featherweight 243 because the stain bled something awful. I have a 243 Vario but it's one of my favorite shop pipes because it's so light and hangs just right while I work. Sorry I'm not much help. I like the shape too though.

Great shape. For me that tall conical bowl just intensifies that last 3rd in a great way.Where did you pick up the Vario?

 

[wayneteipen]

If I remember correctly, I bought it from smokingpipes.com several years ago.
