Tommy, Ocelot55 (Jesse) is one of our esteemed artisan carvers/pipesmiths here at BoB. So if anyone knows anything about something like this it will inevitably be him. So this is sage information.Ocelot55":tavpriuv said:Welcome to BOB!
Judging from the hallmark, I'd say it's a 1919. The anchor means the silver was marked in Birmingham. She looks to be in pretty rough shape, but with enough elbow grease you can probably clean her up. Nice find!
Thank you for the information. Now time for the restoration. I have never restored a pipe myself, I will go and search for a how to thread.Brewdude":uyopu5gt said:Tommy, Ocelot55 (Jesse) is one of our esteemed artisan carvers/pipesmiths here at BoB.
