Interesting treatment in what was pretty clearly an attempt to save the pipe from a fate that would otherwise have been determined by a cosmetically compromised shank. In true Castello hubris, rather than being grateful for the 'save' and calling this an Old Antiquari, they bumped it up a price range to the "Castello" level.  Grp. 6 or larger in size with large bowl. New
5.5" long, bowl 2" tall.  Weight: 2 oz., 58 grams.

All ordering is on a first-come, first-serve basis. We prefer it old school. Send your e-mail request to: priorbriar@gmail.com  Include your name, contact information, complete address with zip code, and the pipe you want. Copy the entire BOLD text of the title of the pipe and paste it into the e-mail. Example: Svend Bang #8634. I'll confirm your request by return e-mail or phone call and the payment method, which could be a convenient PayPal transaction. Note: you do not need to become a PayPal member to make a secure credit card payment via PayPal. If you prefer the phone, call me at 650.965.4773. For shipping, see this link.
