Sasieni Four Dot "Stratford"

[ssjones]

I can't resist a Sasieni Family-Era pipe and I found this one at the recent Richmond CORPS show. It was in great shape and only required a minor clean-up. I'm beginning to become a big fan of the blasted "Ruff Root" finish and the blue four-dot stem logo is one of the most attractive made.
I did a write-up on the Reborn Pipes blog with all of the details.

I love the shape of that pipe. I am a big fan of Sasieni pipes. Wish I had more.

Very nice pipe Al, it has beautiful blast too! Great clean up job!

I have always loved the way Sasieni pipes smoke. I just enjoyed a bowl of FM Cellar in an old Sasieni two dot the other day. It's a kind of beater pipe, looks like it had the stem replaced as the blue dots seem a little large and odd colored, and the shank has a crack that has been repaired. Still smokes great though.

Thanks, it was a very basic cleanup. I'll smoke it tonight at the NYC Pipe club meeting.
