The bowl chamber is heavily smoked and carbonized with built-up cake and soot, and the flat rim has minor darkening\/charring around its inner edge. The stem has not been removed from the mortise, and neither the internal draft hole\/airway nor chamber has been pipe-cleaned or reamed. The stem airway opening has minor internal discoloration and debris. Light oxidation or fading is present on the black stem, with teeth chatter, bite marks, and superficial scratching around the button and lip. The briar has superficial finish loss\/flaking on the lower left bowl and near the shank stamp, exposing lighter wood beneath the darker factory stain, along with scattered handling scuffs and tiny pin-prick dings. The pipe remains structurally intact, with no visible hairline cracks or structural splits in the briar bowl or shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIVL - FC2D1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Stuff I Sell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45784400986288,"sku":"SG-22103-S","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/5990\/8661\/files\/img_01_a7ee535b-dae1-49b7-b3eb-cb12054bfc4d.png?v=1793991074","url":"https:\/\/juststuffisell.com\/products\/vintage-imported-briar-root-straight-billiard-tobacco-smoking-pipe-with-long-black-stem-5-3-8-inch-estate-restoration","provider":"Just Stuff I Sell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
