A wonderful Rhodesian in my black stain with Tortoise Shell Bakelite. The blast came out awesome on this pipe! I used some of my Tortoise shell Bakelite on this piece. I have a VERY limited supply of this material. This is by far my favorite Bakelite, it is truly beautiful and you can get lost staring into the beauty of the mouthpiece. It is almost like looking into a piece of amber with all its variations. This is a very nice piece and just my size, about a gp. 4. It is a wax only finish and with smoking and handling it colors up beautifully. Hand cut Bakelite mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon. Hand made Sterling silver fitment. Graded S2 @ $577.00 USA SHIPPING INCLUDED( S2 @565+ 12.00 S&I) Please e-mail me with any questions and thank you for looking.
