The Ancient Mariner 206 is a fine looking pipe.
If I were you, I'd give the whole bunch of them a thorough cleaning.
This is a good article telling you what you need and how to do it

That Butz is nice too!

Thank you very much murdoc! I was just looking at them cleaning them up a bit more and noticed that it almost looks like there is something that resembles rust in the teeth marks.... you read my mind.

Yeah I noticed some oxidation in the pics. Go through the steps in that article, and the will look completely different.

That treatment seems a bit harsh for that little bit of oxidation LOL. I do not have the sand paper though so I will need to wait i suppose

 

[redbeard]

Also, vulcinate steams. is that the material? and how do you tell what kind it is?

Thank you and I believe I will be busy for quite some time
Also, the search on here is odd... Doesn't seem to show any result pertaining to what I entered.
So my question is how do you restore a bowl.... If it has hardly any residue in the bowl can I just use it now?
