Unsmoked?

[AJ]

The seller says this pipe is unsmoked. I disagree. Scroll down and enlarge picture showing the view of the chamber. What do you think?

Unsmoked Pipe?

 

[DrT999]

Nice looking pipe, but I agree -- it looks like more than one bowl has been smoked in it to me

 

[eklektos44]

Pretty obvious it has been smoked. :suspect:

 

[DrT999]

I note that while the title description states 'unsmoked,' the regular copy notes 'used'. The stem looks a bit used as well, but that's harder to tell.

I'm not so sure it was smoked.

The bowl is obviously coated, but look at the third picture - peering down into the bowl. Just inside the rim between 3 + 4 o'clock position, there appears to be a small dot of virgin wood. I'm thinking this is the draught hole at the bottom of the bowl. If smoked a few times, this would be blackened. Might be a photo anomaly though ...

Fire has certainly been put to that rim!! Whether it was actually applied to tobacco in the bowl is anybody's guess !! :twisted: :twisted:

I believe the only thing 100% certain with this pipe is that I won't be bidding on it. Or any other leather covered pipe. Who originally came up with that dumb idea? :roll:

Ebay will always be caveat emptor and this is no exception.

 

[RDPipes]

Yeah, that's just one of those that put a coating in the bowl. And then they drilled the draft out for ya.

Please, someone tell me that's a typo. My regard for my fellow man keeps slipping on a daily basis.
