Bayside Estate Pipe

[Byrd]

I just got this today at a local flea market. $25! It'll take some work to restore it but it'll be fun.
Can anyone tell me anything about it? I'm not familiar with the brand. It's marked Bayside Italy.

Possibly a Savinelli pipe made to be a tobacco store house pipe.

I wondered about that because when I googled Bayside, Savinelli was the only thing that came up.

I like the blast! Personally I'd add a bit more bend to that stem though!

That's a good idea. The stem is in the oxiclean now. I'll start polishing in the morning

How long do you leave it in the oxiclean? I read about it a long time ago but I think I made the mistake of using vinegar….

I left it in for two hours, then scrubbed the oxidation off with a magic eraser. Now I have to polish it. The oxiclean does a good job at lifting the oxidation off the stem. It became loose enough that you can wipe it off with a paper towel

I know nothing about it but for $25 that's a heckuva score/pipe!

Careful with the Oxiclean, it will cause oxidation and can leave pitting in the material. Magic Erasers can do the job without harsh chemicals.

 

[Byrd]

I didn't know that! It's out of the oxiclean now and cleaned with the magic eraser. I did notice that it was a bit rough but the magic eraser took that off. I'll polish it tomorrow.

That is a good looking pipe. I hope that it smokes as good as it looks. Good job on the clean up.

 

[Byrd]

Thank you! I'm going to give it a try this weekend and see how it does. I've got high hopes for it.

That’s a nice looking pipe, especially for the price you paid.

 

[Byrd]

I love it! It cleaned up easily and I smoked it yesterday and all I can say is WOW! It packed easily and had a perfect draw. I wondered if the tapered bowl contributed to this? It's the first tapered bowl I've tried.

It looks great. Well done.

BTW, there is a "Bayside Tobacco Co." that produces (or produced) pipe blends. Perhaps they had some pipes commissioned to be made in Italy to promote their products? Just a stab in the dark... Anyways, great work!

Thank you, I appreciate it! I'll look for the Bayside Tobacco Co. That makes sense.
