GBD New Era 173 (1940s-50s Make) Billiard Estate Pipe

Swollen in its timeless proportions, this GBD New Era billiard estate pipe is older and has already been enjoyed by more than one generation.  The original silver rhondele is in great shape and the tapered style of the stem has no sweep to get in the way of this sophisticated straight smoker.  There are a couple of dings and handling marks beneath the bowl and along the bottom of the shank in addition to the expected darkening of the rounded and beveled rim, but this classically styled smoker is an icon of its time and features both an excellent draw and a sweet-spot sized chamber worthy of any favorite blend.
