    Offering an excellent

    GBD
    Prehistoric,
    in a 9613 shape, with the higher-grade hand-cut Perspex stem. Prehistoric is GBD’s name for this sandblast finish. The
    Collector
    stamping appears to be both a designation of a higher quality, plus a larger size in overall scale.
    And this is a first in scale of their oversized pipes, with GBD offering three Extra Sized pipes in the following order of size smaller to bigger:
    Collector, Conquest, Colossus
    , this being the first extra-sized rating.
    The bowl is in great shape, with just the slightest bit of normal wear showing, no issues. The exterior on this bowl is exceptional, with a fan of ring-grain and vertical pattern emanating from the lower leading part of the bowl. The quality of the grain reminds me of a better-looking Dunhill Shell. The top rim is smooth and rounded in, with a rich stain, in fine condition. The inside is well seasoned, with the draw hole bottom center, so it should be a good smoker. Stem is original and made of a clear acrylic, known in England as Perspex, which is a notable upgrade from most of the Prehistoric model pipes in my experience. Has the brass
    GBD
    rondelle inset in the side, which should date it to pre-1980 timeframe. The stem looks very well-cut, it has just a hint of tooth chatter. Pipe weighs in about 1.3 ounces, it draws easy. It’s freshly polished and ready to smoke!

    Combined shipping of multiple items no problem! Saves you money...
    Additional cleaning may be desired on some pipes, as I focus on the exterior reconditioning and reaming, and leave the shank interior to the new owner, pipe stand not included with any pipe.
