Cleaned Up Some Brit Wood

[jeremiah]

I've got a tub of British pipes waiting on some workbench time. I grabbed these the other day and spent some quality time with them. The photo isn't the greatest, I need to work on that. From the top:

1986 Ashton Pebblegrain. Some great, tight ring grain on this one.
1984 Dunhill 4201 Chestnut.
Family Era Sasieni Eight Dot Melton with patent number.
1951 GBD 9438 with hallmarked MRC sterling band.
1930s GBD "London Made" shape N133
1930s GBD Prehistoric Xtra P172 This one is about as big as a Dunhill LB of the same era.

Excellent job on some very nice pipes.

Those are some great shapes. I'm a 9438 aficionado, but I can't say that I've ever seen a silver banded/hallmarked example.

Oy, that's nice. Thanks for sharing.
