BBB Billiard Rescued From a Junk Box

[Sigmund]

This was in a pile of junk pipes I bought. I sanded it down to the bones and cleaned it up.

Looks like a honest pipe good for a while longer. Any before pics?

 

[Sigmund]

No. I should have. It looks better in person. Im not usually a billiard guy but we will see. It was darker and the top really beat. The sides a little banged up and of course a brown stem.

Thats the size and style of pipe I prefer! Nice find!

The nomenclature/stamp is still very readable and seeminly in good condition. Stem looks good too. Nice save!

 

[Sigmund]

Other that a bit of abuse yes. No burn out. Just a lot of cake. I managed to save most the nomenclature on the stem too.

My wife is laying claim to it. She wants a pipe and liked it.

What a lucky find, and a nice surprise. You revived it well.

 

[lordnantwich]

An excellent find indeed! Lovely.

So is this her first??

@tobakenist Yes it is a made in London model.

@didimau Yes, its her first. Probably her only as she only occasionally puffs on one of my pipes.
