Thanks for looking and as usual I will combine postage if you buy more than one of my items from this auction. European tracked postage is £9.85 and for the rest of the world is £11.85......I have ...had to increase charges following Royal Mail price increases in April but will still combine any number of pipes for the price of one.On 21-Aug-20 at 16:56:14 BST, seller added the following information: This is a Pretty Little Peterson System 0 317 England Made 1/2 Bent Billiard that has been knocked about a bit!!! Structurally quite sound to smoke for many years to come, cosmetically it seems to have been "Knocked -out" after smoking by someone very heavy handed, which has made a bit of a mess of the bowl rim, even if it still intact. These system pipes with their well or sump beneath the bowl airhole were patented by Peterson in 1890, the p-lip stem to reduce moisture intake in 1898, and they have changed little since. The briar of this England Made 317 seems to have been stripped back to it's natural colour tan briar, and it has some well defined Birdseye and Straight Graining, the nickel plated acorn is in good condition, as is the p-lip stem. The bowl was reamed and cleansed, the stem was fully sanitised to make the pipe ready to smoke as soon as you receive it, before the whole pipe was lightly polished and waxed to give Finish you can see in the photos. The pipe draws and will smoke perfectly, it sits snugly in the hand, light, balanced and tactile. Will still smoke well for years to come!!!
