Whitehall Resto: Before/After (Pics)

[danielplainview]

The only stamping on this pipe is marked imported briar, but I'm pretty sure it's a Whitehall. I've had a few Whitehall's with this exact rustication. My project pipe box is running low so I finally decided to give this one a facelift. The previous owner was the ultimate cake boss. Reamer? Pipe Cleaner? What are those...

Love seeing threads like this. One of the most dramatic before/after transformations. Very impressed.

It's difficult to believe it's the same pipe.
Outstanding!

Wow, that's an amazing transfromation! Low grade pipe restors are near and dear to my heart. Like to seeing some love for the no name or older inexpensive brands. :clap:

It does look a lot like the Whithalls I have as well, except all mine are meerschaum lined. Beautiful restoration there!
