When making a buy on the Bay, I try to follow good advise about multiple quality photos, measurements. Only one non closeup was shown without specks but I recognized the maker and the price was reasonable. When receiving same it was a a huge pipe 3 “ tall, 7” long, 3” wide, 1/2 thick wall. My first reaction was to use it as a paper weight but it turned out to be a great smoker. I even kidded the seller that he should have sold it by the ounc. The shank cutouts made for a great finger hold.
