Imported Briar 915 Large Smooth Brandy (Estate)

A common practice among pipe companies in the 20th century was the production of “seconds.” If you can think of a major pipe brand from the last 100 years, it’s almost certain that a seconds brand (or, in some instances, many seconds brands) came from the same production line. Essentially, seconds were pipes that were discovered to have minor, purely cosmetic, imperfections at one stage or another in the manufacturing process. Instead of throwing these perfectly good pipes away, companies used seconds brands to offer them at more affordable prices. This particular pipe is an example of such.

The condition is fair. Minor inner rim darkening, some slight scratches around the bowl, and a few worn-out fills in the briar.
