This spotless leather covered Bradberry pot arrived today...my first pipe purchase in a long time. The stem was completely plugged though (varnish? glue?) and while trying to clear it, a large chuck chunk broke off the stem. Now I've got to try to find a replacement. Sigh. This pic doesn't do the pipe justice.

It only says imported briar Italy on it, no idea of the maker but the bowl will fit her Nubs that she likes to smoke down till she can’t hold it any longer
