The carver gained a considerable jump start to his career when the winner of the 1955 World Slow Smoking contest was won by a man smoking a Brakner pipe. While the carver created fine smoking instruments in three categories (The Bella Danica, The Royal Danois and the Antique), he is best remembered for the latter, which bears the rustication in front of you. This is one of the wilder Brakner forms that I have seen, the compression of the bowl along the vertical axis is so pronounced that it pretty much belongs in a sail category.
