Sasieni Four Dot "Liverpool" (Smooth Finish)

[georged]

DoctorBob's Ruff Root Liverpool thread reminded me that I had a smooth example of the same pipe in my rack.

I'm not a Sasieni collector, but like higher-grade BritWood and the Liverpool shape categorically, and this one had the "granite" grain that I'm a sucker for:

Oooh, I like that pipe even more than the shell poker three weeks ago. Birdseye like that gives a wonderful 3-D effect.
Very nice!

That is stunning, George.

It'd be a lot more special if it had some grain worth noting................

I like those long-shanked shapes, the Canadians and similar shapes, the most stately.

Thanks for the new descriptor: 'granite grain', and me from NH originally, well, born in ME, but grew up in NH.

I got a pipe early on with that type of grain, because of the grain. It's a ButzChoquin Giante and my first 'premium' estate buy. Still, though it's like new, I got it for under $50.00.
