Hi Ian,
I have a quarter bent brandyglass straightgrain with art amber stem. I'm not actively looking to deacquisition the piece, but I might consider a trade, depending on what was offered.
As you will undoubtedly see, it is in excellent condition.
Here are some pics:

Interesting, by the way, that I asked Tonni why in the world it wasn't graded a Viking because it has no flaws or wash anywhere. I didn't have it with me at the time and he said there must be a reason it wasn't a Viking.
I showed it to him later and he couldn't explain why it wasn't a Viking. As you know, Tonni is rarely without an opinion when confronted with a situation like this.
I think it is an 8 because it is such a conservative shape.
I will tell you this: it is among the best Tonnis I've ever seen. |

Hmmmm...
Let me do some searching around this afternoon. It's a bit big for me but I love the pipe! Tonni knows how to make a big pipe comfortable too! |

| Oh I am terrible.
I am looking at this pipe, really studying the superb staining that brought out such a nice straight grain. Then I look closer and study the pronounced rings, and I was wondering how much nicer it might be as a deep sandblast.
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. It seems I am always trying to turn nice smooth pipes into sandblasts.
