Do not buy if unsure = I have purposely ommited relevent information about the condition of this pipe

Some guys will drill a hole near the button on the bit.

This gives the ability to divert the smoke to the upper

or lower palate, not unlike a P-Lip. It kills the resale

value.

Nope. It's for attach the pipe to the keyring.

LMAO.... perhaps we should start another thread for 'Ingenious Alterations to Pipes to Enhance Smoking'

Hey that's not far from wrong. I also collect straight razors and those statements apply to those as well for the most part.

Not a good pic forget it, only one side shown forget it. top of bowl not shown forget it I just got one that was said to have been refurbished and sterilized. Yea right gunk like crazy where the airhole hits the bowl. I had to drill it out. I don't think it had ever been reamed that took 25 minutes. You get the idea!
