Swinks Partially Rusticated Magnum Freehand Sitter (Estate)

About this pipe:

Swinks pipes appear to have been the creation of Wilbur Swinks, an American carver and operator of the Swinks Smoke Shop in Ohio. Given that Swinks was active between the 1950s and 1980s, it should not surprise that many of his pipes were in the Danish inspired-American freehand vein, which was particularly active during that time. This one is a huge example of such, with quite remarkable straight grain patterning for its size.

The condition is very good. Minor inner rim darkening and some very slight scratches on the bowl.
