Ran up on this pipe at an Estate sale recently. Cost me $35. Got it home and it was sort of uncared for so I did some research and gave it a good cleaning. I used the 50/50 bleach soak on the stem with a finishing up with a magic erasure. On the inside of the chamber I used the salt bath with grain alcohol for a couple of days. Didn't do much to the Meer bowl other than paper towel it out. What a great smoking Pipe! I am impressed with the way it cools the smoke before you inhale it.
