Ben Wade Straight Grain

 

Ben Wade Straight Grain

A large, bell shaped Ben Wade Straight Grain.  I do not see many Ben Wade of this shape.  It has a nice straight grain pattern all the way around the bowl with some birdseye on the bottom.  We have only cleaned, buffed and polished this pipe, which is all it really needed.  I believe the stem is original, but am not 100% positive.  If it is a replacement, it has been very well done.  No tooth marks on the stem, and no dinks or dents.  It does have two obvious fills in the bottom of the shank.  It puts me in mind of a Charatan Executive shape that I own, which it probably would have been without the fills.  With it's thick bowl walls, this should be a nice, very cool smoke.
