Can Anyone Identify ?

Back Again.... How about this one? Does anyone know the maker? 'Italy' is the only stamp. Its gotta be a 60s 70s pipe. Thanks guys.

Yup, that’s a basket pipe.

A nice looking one at that.

I guess I guess... But its not trying to be anything that its not. Ya know? Like those crap Chinese rosewood knockoffs. Its got quite the nice finish to be honest, better than the Venturi's.

There’s nothing at all wrong with a decent basket pipe. Got several myself that have been in my rotation for ages and are well loved.

I think that’s a nice looking classic billiard and hopefully it smokes as good as it looks. I certainly would rather have an un-named pipe that looks and smokes well than a poor smoking factory pipe any day!

that finish says not the best looking piece of briar. Which translate to a great way to make a pretty pipe.
