Jumpin’ Railcars and Collectin' Cans
My first estate
Found this at an antique shop. Suntan 7086b. Also had a darby close to the same style. Wasn't sure about it had a little chatter. This 1 really doesn't and has maybe 1/8 of cake. Paid 8$ good deal? Time to look up Branzig's restore post! deal?uploadfromtaptalk1426356422657.jpguploadfromtaptalk1426356442179.jpguploadfromtaptalk1426356462261.jpg

It is hard to go wrong for $8. It looks like there is a filler repair on the left side of the bowl. That's isn't a big deal at all, but just pay attention to it during cleaning and polishing to make sure the repair remains sound. It is a purely aesthetic thing and won't affect the smoking

Congratulations!
The resto is the fun part. A sense of accomplishment after getting it all cleaned up and polished makes the smoke taste better.

Sweet. I don't know much about that brand, but I'd pick that pipe up for $8 ten times out of ten.
Looks good. Be sure to post when you're done and let us know how it smokes.
Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.

But for 8 bucks you could flush the whole pipe down the toilet, who cares! You got an amazing deal!

Nice pipe! For $8 you can't go wrong buddy.
I agree with trying the stinger first before ditching it. You may like it!
