Yep, that's one beautiful pipe bro brobs. Congrats on the nice find, and good job on the cleanup. Looks amazing

What a deal! Very nice.

To me, that stem is a real fishtail, not some wannabe!

Beautiful! How does she smoke?

 

[mingc]

Holy shit. Well if they outlaw internet sales I’ll pay the $25 ?

If they outlaw internet sales, that tin would be $125!

That stem really sets it off doesn’t it? I’m going to have to PM @BROBS and try to sweet-talk him into giving me that pipe

 

[jpmcwjr]

Good luck!!

I don't recall seeing a stem quite like that one before. Interesting..

 

[BROBS]

I've seen a few other Danish makers that do a stem like this.. Bari comes to mind. Definitely a child of the 60's/70's I think so "free".

it smokes wonderfully.. has a very wide open draw.

Well like an idiot I didn’t take before pics of this one. BBB Own Make Thorneycroft 638 Billiard. Had cracking lava overflow all over the rim and the stem was crazy oxidized with bite marks. Had an inner tube so the shank is pristine inside!

 

[redglow]

Definitely a nice one! Congrats!

A real fish tail, that one. The Canadian, I mean.

This is what I call a nice "tweed blazer" pipe. It has that "look".

Very nice!

Yeah sure the pipe, but what about that ashtray??

 

[BROBS]

? my wife puts birdseed out in that

I think the Canadian was a good buy, but it takes an experienced eye to know. You have to know the materials, how much is left in them, and how much you can do yourself in terms of knowhow and time. That's why I'd steer new pipe smokers to moderately priced new pipes, so they can focus on technique. Restoration comes later if at all. But that Canadian now has a whole new lifespan.

Very nice. I like it!
