Charatan Distinction Square Shank Freehand Billiard Estate Pipe

Lengthy and tapered from the prominent chin all the way through the subtly bent stem, this Charatan Distinction freehand estate pipe has a square panel shank and an unusually shaped bowl.  Likely the result of chasing the dense and straight grain just under the rim, this English-made sitter has a darkened rim from use and a chamber wide enough to make the most of native English and Balkan blends.  The stampings have some considerable ware, though this handmade sitter is still in great shape.
