[QUOTE="Yooper, post: 237522, member: 568"] I agree with the above posters, the pipe was probably displayed in a glass case or in a window where it absorbed sunlight causing the oxidation. It could have been on display for as long as eight years if the pipe is a 2004. The box switch implies that the pipe was separated from the box at some point, as it would be if the pipe were displayed. The Cumberland stems found on the Chestnut series may well be acrylic, I haven't come across any vulcanite Cumberland stems, but I may be wrong about that. Acrylic doesn't oxidize like vulcanite, so chances are it is an Amber Root, and somebody else got a Chestnut in an Amber Root box. [/QUOTE]
