    Thanks. If memory serves me, it was a repair job - the silver band that Diebel's put on it. The owner never came back to pick it up and pay for the repair.

    Finished dinner and built a fire. First pipe of the day. Davidoff Royalty in one of the first good pipes I could afford in college, an Amphora X-tra 724 bent bulldog with vulcanite stem.It was offered in an ad for Amphora tobacco. $4.00 and the coupon. It has always been a fantastic smoker.

    Jim, looks like a first from what I can see. Perhaps an example of the erratic Charatan grading.

    I used to sell Jobey when I worked in the pipe shop. I haven't seen one in years. Your amber stem sounds interesting - is it acrylic?
