Is the outer edge of the rim hammered/gnawed away so there's a radius, or is that just a bright spot from your brushing?

Also, that looks like one of a batch of Algerian briar Tanshells (mistakenly) produced in 1953. What's the nomenclature?

Great job!!

I have a Comoy that has a similar rusticated top and it is black as tar. In the beginning I was put off by its appearance but know it is kind of growing on me as it is such a fine smoker.
