STANWELL RARE UNSMOKED "UNIQUE" STRAIGHT GRAIN BENT DUBLIN ESTATE PIPE

Description

I'm a huge Stanwell fan and have always tried to offer them almost weekly for years now as I think they are some of the finest factory pipes ever made. Out of the hundreds if not thousands of Stanwell's I have had in the past, I do not recall ever having a Unique! And, certainly not an unsmoked one as they are already rare. I am unsure when the Unique was introduced but eventually it was replaced with the "Flawless". Both were the top grade for Stanwell in their time and this Unique shows why with it's spectacular straight grain! While not stamped with a shape number, it looks very familiar to me and may be one that was designed by one of the Great Danes like Eltang, Julie, or maybe Chonowitsch. It's a gorgeous quarter bent Dublin shape that shows profound Danish characteristics with smooth lines throughout. The bowl is tall and carries extra thick walls with a rounded rim leading to a chamber offering healthy capacity. It transitions effortlessly to the slight bent round shank that is adorned with a Sterling Silver band adding a brilliant touch. Stem is original crisp black acrylic with fishtail bit and inlaid silver crowned "S". The finish is amazing, a rich almost plum Bruyere with golden undertones while the grain is quite impressive showing exceptional straight grain with a touch of flame all with remarkable depth. Awaiting its first smoke, a rare opportunity to pick up an unsmoked Stanwell high grade Unique!
