Sasieni Shape Help Needed Please

That is an easy restoration - I love working on those Four Dot stems
I loved the Wire video, I had to google that band! (and I'm listening to Pink Flag now)

Beefeater - it was a revelation to me and won me over how a petite prince smoked, just about perfect!

But I still love my grp3-4 straight billiards too of course!
Al - yeah, Wire is great! I have the On Returning: 1977-1979 cd and it's simply brilliant,

it's stupendous road music too!
Somewhat similar would be The Fall, they have about a million albums, but this song ties into the wire theme...

...and yeah, the resto should be no problem. I like to build up a few and then take a whole day doing a group resto for some reason. The main problem I have with the blasts is removing stubborn cake from the rim, I have a variety of different toothbrushes with bristles cut to different length and other assorted tools, but it takes alotta elbow grease to maintain the blast crispness on well-caked rims...

I used Mike G's method of inverting the bowl top into a millimeter or two of distilled water, soak for 10 minutes and then use an old toothbrush. But, that has limitations with blasted pipes.

THE LITEWATE
Sasieni has selected a handful of favourite shapes and reduced them to "half-pint" size, and the result - a beautifully finished little pipe for that short smoke. Available in either a Rustic finish (similar to "Old England") or a smooth rich plum. In addition to the shapes shown opposite the Litewate can be supplied in miniature of the following styles: - 16, 21, 38, 58, 78.
( the shape numbers on opposite page were: 23, 25, 30, 35, 58, 77.)

Alfred vs. Alfred

White vs. Blue

Spot vs. Spot

...and just for the hell of it,

here's a few old Sasieni boxes
