Fantastic & Lightly Smoked Orlik Giant GX 14 Lumberman Bark Sitter.
Item History & Price
Pipe length......7.75 inches Bowl height.....2.45 inches Internal bowl diameter......0.95 of an inch.
This is the most Fantastic Refurbished and Lightly Smoked Orlik Giant GX 14 Bark Finished Lumberman Sitter. Orlik were founded in London in 1899 by Louis Orlik to make "High Quality Pipes at Affordable Prices" The Cadogan Group acquired the brand in 1980, but this Giant Lumberman pre-dates Cadogan, and... has spent the last twenty years plus in a major UK collection. The briar is a deep chestnut brown colour, beautifully Bark Carved, the underside of bowl and shank flat and smooth making the pipe a True Sitter, and showing the lovely tight briar graining. The bowl rim is crisp and unmarked, the stem has both the Orlik inset brass ring, and is stamped Hand Cut, non-filter with some light tooth chatter. The bowl needed no reaming and was cleansed, the stem was fully sanitized to make the pipe ready to smoke as soon as you receive it, before the whole pipe was lightly polished and waxed to give the wonderful finish you can see in the photos. This Pipe would be MINT were it not for the light tooth chatter. The pipe draws and will smoke perfectly, despite it's size it sits so comfortably in your hand, long yet well balanced and so tactile. The biggest Orlik I have either seen or Refurbished!!
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.
