Thank you.

An alignment of the planets !
I realised that I had only a couple of family-era Batlings. I love small stubby billiards. Silver bands (to nail the date) and a case are just icing on the cake.

A very lucky find (with help from me mate Dave (@Ahi Ka ).
Thanks Dave. Just don't reveal the source !

Very nice! Will you smoke it or just admire it? I'm kind of a butter fingers sometimes...I'd probably drop it.

Very nice pipe! Was it restored at all or was this how it came?
Came like that. It has hardly been smoked.
I'll take it apart and give it a deep clean next week.

It will definitely be fired up after I give it a clean.

Beautiful pipe... and that case!
I am curious... how does an orific bit smoke?
That depends more on your teeth alignment as anything else. I find them hard to clench for very long as they tend to roll around my teeth as I do it. I clench until it gets a little troublesome, take a break for a few seconds or so, and then clench again. To my way of thinking, there's a learning curve to clenching them.
