From my personal collection of 'handmades and high grades' comes a very good condition Ben Wade pipe. A medium height bowl with straight stem, it is the essential Danish of collectables. It has simply fantastic burl in the bowl with a 'moss' rusticated bottom. Of course, the bit fits perfectly, and is snug.I am partial to long pipes; I love the Lumberman styles I have, and I've probably got twenty Canadians. But this is the nicest of the genre - a London-made Lovat style by Ben Wade. The long lines and magnificent sand blast is so typically English and make it an extremely attractive and well balanced pipe. Length is 6 1/4", and bowl height is 1 3/4".The markings on the briar are clean and readable as: Ben Wade LONDON, ENGLANDOn the top of the bit: BENWADEThis pipe has been smoked lightly. The bit shows slight bite marks and the bowl is charred. I have seldom smoked the pipe. It was an 'estateâe(tm)pipe when I acquired it, and was in this condition. I see no fills and other than the slight bite marks, t are no cracks, no chips, no flaws. I 'm a member of the North American Society of Pipe Collectors (NASPC), and am selling most of my collection of pipes, racks and memorabilia. Please watch my other auctions for more goodies in the near future. Write with questions, and please bid to own. I'll take anything back if it was misrepresented,
