GBD Prestige 566 Bent Yachtsman with Wide Shank and Perspex Estate Pipe

Beautifully grained with GBD's Prestige smooth finish fitted with the clear and clean Perspex acrylic stem, this English estate pipe is likely from the late 1970s and is in excellent condition.  The wide chamber is just slightly conical and musters a thick portion of briar to insulate the capacious reservoir from the rim to the heel.  There are a few minor handling marks but this smooth drawing smoker is an icon from a half century ago and speaks to a time when plastics were modern and everybody celebrated a good smoke in public.
