Unknown Maker Straight Apple Pot Estate Pipe

From the Faridunhill archive - estate pipes documented from our own reference cabinets. The shank carries no maker's stamp. What it has is the shape. A bent apple in sandblasted briar - the blast raised so the grain reads as ridges under the thumb, which is what a sandblast is for: it puts the wood's own structure where your hand sits. Acrylic saddle stem, 9mm filter. No maker, no country, no date is stamped on this pipe, and we do not name one we cannot read. Condition: rim darkened, light scratches through the blast on the bowl, small tooth marks on the stem. No cracks, no fills, no repairs seen. Finish and grain: see the photographs. Ships from the Faridunhill / Pipe Collectors Encyclopedia archive. Worldwide shipping and professional sanitation on every estate pipe. SKU: 479
