A while back I sent these three pieces out for restoration to Shae at VintagePipes in East Hampton CT. He has a store on Etsy. He took these photos and I am only now getting around to posting them. I'm very happy with the results.

Comoy's 206 long-stemmed billiard with "3-part C"
Dunhill Shell 1966 shape 142 medium Dublin
BBB small long stemmed billiard with diamond logo (pre-World War 2)

Here are some BEFORE shots:

Nice pipes! The BBB was American made in the thirties (longish story) and production stopped, I think, during the war. There were different colored diamonds available; one was off-white, one was red, and I think there was a third although offhand I can’t remember.
