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.

Some people cut them off but I suggest you try it with first as you can always cut it off later. I personally don't mind the stingers. If you have a bit of gurgle and want to run a cleaner through, just unscrew the stem.

Nice pipe! For $8 you can't go wrong buddy.

I agree with trying the stinger first before ditching it. You may like it!

Anyone here of this or the darby?

[bluenoser]

Not to hijack but what's the stinger do?

So I been to my local stores, Michaels, jo an fabric, rite Aid and cigarette shop. No one has stiff bristled pipe cleaners. Would lowes or home Depot or just online?
