    Description

    Vintage New Old Stock
    Charatan's Maker "Executive" "Extra Large"
    Smoking Pipe. "Made By Hand In City of London". "Reg No. 203573".
    New Old Stock Near Mint Condition. I say "Near" Mint only because the stem could use brightening.
    The inside of the chamber had dust in it from sitting in a stand on the bottom shelf of a built-in wall shelf. I wiped out the dust with a dry paper towel.
    I just recently acquired a group of black silk-like Charatan bags that are from this collection(also NOS), but this pipe was not necessarily original to this pouch and also may not be from this pipe's time period. I have no way of knowing.
    The stem is in remarkable condition for it's age and could use a minor polishing to brighten it up.
    Not a self-sitter.

    I don't refurbish, refinish, restore or alter these pipes in any way and I am not an expert on pipes.
    Feel free to ask questions and a
    s always I welcome combined shipping up to a week or so and early communication helps me to plan ahead for possible repackaging.
    All of these pipes that I am offering were originally purchased new by my
    collector friend of 45 years.
    He was
    eccentric,
    eclectic and a fastidious collector and I am auctioning many of his different collections for his widow...
    May He Rest In Peace!

    I use terms like "Used", "Near Mint", "MIB"(mint in box), "MINT", "Never Been Used", "Vintage", "Excellent" as honestly and literally as I know how.

    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 well preserved vintage smooth finish Charatan's pipe! Happy Bidding!
