My most dramatic one of late is probably this Reg'd era Stanwell 68:

Picked this up on eBay. It was in really good shape when I received it. Reamed and cleaned internals. Repaired the stem. Had very minor tooth chatter. Button was squeezed or depressed. Straighten that up. The bowl rim had ash tray dents, steamed them out and repaired char rim. This was a quick fun one to do.

Nice, I just got one off eBay that looks just like this one too. It’s a Gold grain 126, but it has a hole in the stem

Here’s my latest before, hoping there’ll be an after. Had quite the burn out. My dad says it looks like art and hang it in a shadow box. Lol, newly discovered Picasso pipe.
That looks like a plug, shape, bore, waterglass fix.
