A Cherry Wood Pipe

[OzPiper]

Feeling nostalgic so I bought this NOS cherry wood (the wood, NOT the shape).
Unbranded

The draught hole is drilled in the bottom of the chamber

And the mortise is BELOW the chamber

The end of the threaded tenon protrudes and can be seen through the draught hole (2nd pic)

So far it is NOT looking good

I guess there’s a reason why it was cheap.
It ain’t no Ropp, that’s for sure
Oft times you get what you pay for

It looks better than most cobs when you look inside it. Puffy
