My mom, surprisingly, bought a bunch of pipes and pipe stands at an auction years ago. Long story short, she mailed them to me and I received them today.
There were some interesting things in the box, in various conditions ranging from "not too bad" to "ew". There was a GBD, a Yellow Bole, a Honeycomb, a couple Willards...I'll post pics of them later.
The pièce de résistance was the one pictured below. The MM logo is stamped on the bottom. The vulcanite stem is heavily oxidized (you can see where I started working on it) but otherwise in very good shape. The rim is dark all the way around, but I think it may have come that way from the factory since it appears to have been smoked very little. There's a little carbon on the upper 2/3 of the chamber, but the bottom of the chamber looks new.
I'll send a pic to MM to see when this was made and whatnot. Meanwhile if you have any info, please share.
