"CALL TO HOUNDS" This is the new stamp I will have on my highest graded pipes. Having been an equine art collector, concentrating on Fox Hunting, this just seemed right and I'm excited. I waited quite some time to delineate a higher grade and trust you can appreciate my apprehension. The artwork was done by my good friend Olie Sylvester. Go to his web site, it's great! www.oompaul.com
#7404 SANDBLAST VOLCANO WITH VINTAGE BAKELITE RESERVED!
Weight: 23.7 oz. (104 grams)
Length: 5-7/8"
Height: 2-3/8"
Bowl depth: 2"
Bowl diameter: 13/16"
Stem: Vintage Hand Cut Ebonite
Tenon: White Delrin
Comments: The blast turned out to be just super and the bottom of the pipe is outstanding. The birds eye and grain appear to have depth. Stained to match the stem material, I feel this is a rather attractive piece. The shape makes this pipe very comfortable in the hand and the balance makes the pipe feel quite light.
