    Description

    L'Anatra smoking pipe weighing in at 1.8ozs from a collection owned by a dear old friend of 45 years.
    Hand Made In Italy.
    This beauty is not self-sitting and another real work of art.
    Aside from the inner bowl, slight char there is
    No sign of wear to speak of. Stem looks Near Mint.
    The entire exterior is like New Old Stock.
    Doesn't look broken in to me.
    I have not cleaned or sanitized this pipe.
    It's become obvious that my friend cleaned his pipes before he retired them to their pipe stand in the study.
    This box was found in a box in a storage room with a few other L'Anatra boxes from this period. I did the best I could with the process of elimination matching pipes to boxes. This was one of two boxes that have two RQ Dates: 12/16/2013 and 2/21/2014. I certainly can't guarantee this is the original box to this very pipe, but it's close.
    Measures: 6-1/4"...total length.
    1-1/2"...tall.
    Chamber I.D. is 3/4"
    Chamber is about 1' deep.
    Total Weight...1.8 ozs.
    Feel free to ask questions if I left anything out.
    I am somewhat sadly selling this pipe collection and many other collections part time for a life long friend and his widow.
    He was eccentric,
    eclectic
    and a fastidious collector.
    May He Rest In Piece.
    I take the Virus situation VERY seriously and take all precautions with the
    sanitizing
    of myself, living quarters, packing boxes and
    materials
    , shipping room, auto, dog and the items I sell.
    I am a self-imposed recluse, one man shop, Germophobe.
    I use terms like "Used", "Near Mint", "MIB"(mint in box), "MINT", "Never Been Used", "Vintage" and etc. as honestly and literally as I know how. I am human(until well into the winter) and capable of making mistakes and If you think I have incorrectly labelled or mis-described an item please let ME know, NOT eBay.
    As always, I will happily refund your purchase amount in full if you are not happy for any reason with any item.
    Thanks for looking, I hope you can use this L'Anatra Hand Made
    beauty
    !  Have a Happy Smoke!
