EDIT: Fixed Capitalization In Title (See Rule 9)
I just received an estate pipe I bought on eBay. It's a John Surrey pipe made in England. It's got a metal piece attached to the end of the tenon which I've never seen before.
What is it?
What is its purpose?
Am I supposed to clean it?
Am I suppose to remove it for any reason (if so, how - it doesn't seem to want to come off easily) or does it remain attached?
If it remains attached, how do I run a pipe cleaner down the stem with this attached?
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!!!
