Tom Eltang (1995 Make) Hexagonal Shank Apple with Brass Estate Pipe
Item # DE243570$675.00
Details
Tom used to make so many of these practical little English inspired smokers. For those of you into Danish pipes, you may notice the similarity of the crisp hexagonal shank with some of Stanwell's offerings. That's because Tom designed those pipes for Stanwell. Here's your shot an an original.
This example is a wonderfully grained little apple, perfect for an active smoker or someone who likes to clench. Made in the days when Tom was perfecting his golden contrast finish, this one has a sliver of brass an an accent separating the straight grained bowl from a exceptionally vibrant brindle stem; a stunning and practical pipe, magnificently cut with just the right degree of taper to the shank and stem. This pipe is poised to be the understated, but technically marvelous jewel of your collection. A bit of rim darkening and some very mild chamber and button wear, but this pipe is ready for years and years of faithful service.
