Loving the holiday season - an opportunity to slip in a couple of bowls when my wife is happy not to insist that I help out around the house. ?
On the front porch with some GLP Caravan - one of a few sample bags from a generous pipe buddy.
Couple of Amber-stemmed nose warmers today.
This 1st is a 1913 Birmingham hallmarked small bent billiard, with broken off button. There are no markings whatsoever on the stummel. The hallmarks are too worn to make out the maker's/silversmith's mark.
I bought this in a really distressed state to use as a restoration project. Apart from the button, it has cleaned up very well. The stem was slight over-clocked (bone screw tenon), easily fixed with some silicon plumbing tape.
With it, a tot of 21 year old El Dorado rum from Guyana.
