This is the Stanwell De Luxe I recently restored. It is one of my favourites. Beautiful to look at and smokes well to boot! What more could one ask for?
Beautiful job Hunter! My Stanwell's are my best pipes. More often than not I go to them over any others I have. I have bought several estate Stanwell's in the $40 dollar range. Great bang for the bucks.
I'm jealous over that one. I have really begun to appreciate the Stanwell line lately and have 2 that really smoke well. Good job on that pipe, it's beautiful.
No, I do not have the before shots, unfortunately. My problem is that I am anxious to get going on the restoration and then think of photographing it too late. Maybe next time. . .
Hunterworld1: Same here, hehe! But try to take before pictures, because the "before-after" comparisons are so satisfying, when you look back at your project after a week or a month.
Great job on a great smoking pipe! I have the same model and it has been my favorite smoker for a while. I like it so much it is in my avatar. Does anyone know if Eltang designed this style during his tenure at Stanwell?
