Description: Beautiful New Old Stock (NOS) Unsmoked Old River Rusticated Chubby Bent Tomato. I listed this as new, but technically, it is new old stock. I do not know how old the pipe actually is. There is NO box or sock. The stem had a ton of oxidation (from age) that I hand sanded and hand polished after a deoxidation bath in Before & After deoxidizer and cleaned with mineral oil. The stummel still looked great but was cleaned and buffed anyway. Now it really shines! I love this pipe and will be sorry to see it go, but it needs a home with someone who will actually smoke it. I usually only smoke the pipes that I wouldn't be able to eventually sell because of an issue that makes me uncomfortable selling. I try to take good pictures from many angles. If you require more pictures on a pipe you're interested in, just ask. I don't usually take measurements, but if you are curious about measurements, then shoot me a message, and I will get it for you. I try very hard to get the "ghosts" out of every pipe. This is usually possible, but occasionally, no matter how hard I try, and with every method exhausted (salt & alcohol, Everclear & cotton balls, retort with Everclear, ozone treatment), it just isn't possible. It's the nature of the beast, I suppose. God knows what some people smoked and how much of it. I hand sand and polish all my pipe stems rather than on the buffing wheel. It's just my preference. I also always ream the bowls down to briar. I do not leave any cake. I follow it up with an organic food grade bowl coating. If bowl coatings aren't your thing, then it's easily removed with a damp paper towel. I very rarely use tenon expanders on loose stems. Most of the time, bees wax does the trick just fine. I prepare all my pipes to my preferences. If they aren't your preferences, I'm sorry but you don't have to buy any. This is how I prefer it to be done. You don't have to agree and again, you don't have to buy any. If any significant repairs were done, then it will definitely be stated in detail. All pipes that I sell as refurbished, refreshed, repaired, restored, etc. will be in ready to smoke condition. Just add your tobacco of choice, and you're ready to go. The prices I ask for my pipes are a reflection of the work that went into them and the materials/supplies used. This is not a cheap process and can be very time-consuming. I offer my services on pipes so anyone interested can contact me for more information. I also buy pipes. It can be 1 pipe or many. Just contact me to work it out the details.
