Have about a third of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Tried walking, but my back stiffed up, so I didn't do my usual number of laps. Old age is not fun! It does beat the alternative, though. :)

That meer looks suspiciously like a Sav 904.... nnnn


View attachment 98892
Surprisingly enough, I don't see it. It's easily twice the size of a Savinelli. It has a round "plateaux" crown instead of an egg shaped one, the heel to shank transition is one straight curve instead of a severe point, and is 1/4 bent where the 904 is 1/8. It's just a big Danish shaped dublin. It's not that I dislike the 904s, just too many people started collecting them and it killed my interest in them. I still have one of them.

Almost finished smoking Motzek (TAK) Virginia Cake in an undated straight black sandblasted Kevin Arthur brandy with a multi-colored accent on the white acrylic saddle stem. This pipe was originally owned by Sante “FishnBanjo” Giuliani.

PC Match Elizabethan in a Ferndown Reo, by Les Wood of London, a smooth bent billiard with cumberland stem and silver band. This is an even Virginia blend with rich flavor that burns well. I think Les Wood is at least semi-retired, but his Ferndown pipes are worth watching for as estates.
