Promised a while back ago, here is one out of two "diamonds in the rough" from the estate box - a BBB Own Make. I not only had to ream it down to bare briar in the chamber but then I had to get a small pipe knife and carefully remove cake
from the rim! Like
the Wally Frank, this one cleaned up to reveal some lovely grain:
 |
| BBB Own Make bent pipe |
 |
| stamped VIRGIN 995 on this side |
 |
| one of two big scratches in the finish |
I don't have a real "before" picture, but I do have an intermediate pic after the initial film of grime was removed:
 |
| caked rim and green-grey stem, but cleaner than I received it! |
