Lovely Refurb ' D Quite Well Smoked Vauen Dr. Perl Chunky Billiard 6242, P - Lip Stem
Item History & Price
This is a Lovely Old Refurbished Vauen Dr.Perl 6242 Chunky Billiard with P-lip Stem that takes a 9mm Filter, Quite well smoked but another lifetimes great smoking to give. Vauen were formed in 1920 in Nuremberg by the amalgamation of VPFN and OTT both Nuremberg pipe companies, and formed in 1848/1866 r...espectively. Ernst Eckert oversaw the formation, and the Eckert Family still run Vauen today. The Dr.Perl Filter System is the most widely used in the world, selling over 150 million annually. The briar of this Chunky Billiard is a chestnut colour with well defined Mixed graining, the bowl rim is still crisp and in great condition for it's age, the briar does have the odd small ding/dent. The stem is a 9mm Filter P-lip, no visible logo, and some tooth chatter. The bowl was reamed and cleansed, the stem was fully sanitised to make the pipe ready to smoke as soon as you receive it, before the whole pipe was lightly polished and waxed to give the still lovely finish you can see in the photos. The pipe draws and will smoke perfectly, it sits so comfortably in the hand, balanced and so tactile.
Thanks for looking and as usual I will combine postage if you buy more than one of my items from this auction. European tracked postage is £9.85 and for the rest of the world is £11.85......I have had to increase charges following Royal Mail price increases in April but will still combine any number of pipes for the price of one.
