Thanks Cortez. Preservation was the top priority for this one. Hand finished. My buffer wasn’t even allowed to look at this one. It’s a true survivor. Shipped in from the old country.

Wow, what a find! They (anyone!) definitely don't make them like that these days!

Some beautiful old BBB pipes you got.
Back in the '50s and '60s, BBB was the most popular pipe brand in Denmark and to us pipe-smoking kids in the early to mid-'60s, a BBB pipe was the holy grail, but none of us could ever afford one.

I have had a soft spot for them ever since.

Gorgeous bulldog, Dave. It's great to see truly vintage pipes in such condition.
And a very nice collection, Dunstan!
