My new skull pipe. Doesnt have any maker marks on it though I think the stem may be bone. It had a nasty crack but i glued it back together. It came in a lot from ebay. Got a savinelli in the lot too. Picture is only the bowl. The stem is in oxyclean right now

Nice buy I like the look of the skull pipe I'm in the process of refurbishing two from eBay a Wally Frank and an unmarked Italian made.Good luck with your projects.

I'm not a skull aficionado with pipes, but I do like the craftsmanship on your purchase.
Are you going to clean him up a little?

It would be nice to see a before and after post Gambit.

Ask and you shall receive. I just polished the bowl a bit. I have a mix of mineral oil (the pharmacy stuff) and bees wax. I use it on bowls and stems to pretty good effect.

That's a nice Sav pot with what looks like a brushed black finish. Handsome. Looks like a natural for complex blends

to bring up the harmonizing variety of tobaccos. From the one photo, it looks in excellent shape.

The sav bowl is pristine. The stem not so much. It was chewed through pretty bad on one side of the bit but I smoothed it out so it isnt too bad
