GBD Prehistoric Prince Refurb

[riff raff]

I found this neat little GBD Prehistoric Prince last week on Ebay. I submitted a article on the restoration on Steven Laug's "Pipes Reborn" blog. You can read it here:

DAMN NICE restoration I do like those clear Perspex stems

I really like the stem on that pipe.

Love it.

It says, "smoking instrument" to me.

It's like a naked street bike. Mean and lean with all it's parts exposed. (understand, this is my subjective impression).

Very nice.

Thanks guys, that was my 2nd submission to "Reborn Pipes" and writing them is an enjoyable process.
Not everyone likes the Perspex stems, but I think they feel like any of my other acrylic stems. This one is so slim, and the pipe light, it is very enjoyable to smoke. I rediscovered OGS and that pipe is the right instrument for that blend. (or I suspect other flakes)

Thanks Neill. I can't explain why this elegant shape was missing from my rack. There is life beyond my bent pipes!
