Pipe Identification

[3rdguy]

This pipe is either my 1st or 2nd pipe I ever purchased. Would have been purchased around 1999/2000. Here are the only 2 markings I have found..

Looks like it says Paronelli to me.

Is that a metallic finish on it?

Here is a little information about them:

Yes I believe it is a metallic finish. The last few letters must be barely there because I had trouble making the letters out.

Thank you both!

Bizarre styling but I like it!

It looks like the interior of the lucite stem is blackened on purpose. This would allow me to try a lucite stem. I don’t like it when lucite stems have a brown, dirty looking airway, but it’s quite hidden in this one.

Yes it is blackened on purpose. It is a great pipe. I have been doing some searching and have not seen one quite like it colorwise.

Paronelli colorific. That was my first pipe as well, back in 2009.
