If I remember correctly the old board had a donation site where one could give a pipe or tobacco to some deserving soul. I haven't been able to find such a site on this new forum. Hopefully I am abiding by all the rules in doing this if not, moderators please let me know how to handle this differently.
I have a Charatan pipe that was essentially a throw-away when I got it. It wasn't exactly described correctly and the usual pictures were not much help. The previous owner was a very bad biter. The end of the stem was bitten with deep teeth marks and a large hole had been eaten away on the underside. The chamber and rim where completely ruined and one could not tell what other delicacies lay hidden within ! Here are the before pics:

Never one to refuse a challenge, I refubed the pipe to the best of it's abilities! Unfortunately the rim has a number of small cracks on the inner surface and there appears to be a superficial crack on the outside of the stummel. I couldn't get all the teeth marks out of the stem but did repair the large hole. The chamber is otherwise OK and the air passages are clear even with the indentations from Mr. Pipes fangs. Here are the after pics:

OK so here's the deal. I would like to donate this CP to a new member, someone who is not a collector or has a number of pipes or someone who just can't afford a pipe at this time. I think it will be a solid smoker but may not hold up well. If you can get by the stem issue it might turn out to be a gem. Any takers can PM me and describe why you might want this poor Charatan. I'll wait 3 days for any volunteers and then select the lucky winner. I'll also pay the postage anywhere in the USA. Thanks for your interest, Hoppes

For future reference:

Member Dave Shain goes by "shaintiques" on the forum accepts pipes and tobacco that he will send to veterans and active military. You can send him a PM for his address.

So far only two people had any interest in the Charatan. Since you were the first to respond you get the pipe! Please email me your name and address and I'll get it out to you probably on Monday. Thanks, Hoppes
