Brial System Pipe (Pats. Pend.) Natural Anodized Aluminum Tube / Estate / Resto

Description: Brial System Pipe (Pats. Pend.) National Anodized Aluminum Tube, Volcanite Stem, and Screw of Briar Bowl. The pipe is in great shape. It's been polished and buffed but still shows a little cloudy/haziness to the aluminum tube. The bowl rim shows some light dings. It has been fully cleaned and sanitized inside and out. Reamed, bowl restained, buffed, and waxed. All teeth marks removed and stem deoxidized. Aluminum polished and buffed. Bowl coating applied for protection. It's used but ready to be smoked again. It still has many years left in it. Here is some information about the pipe, courtesy of smokingmetal.co: The BRIAL pipe is basically an alloy cylinder to which the briar bowl is screwed through the base of the bowl. The front end is permanently sealed with an alloy endpiece. The cylinder is filled with a tissue or cotton to act as an absorption media. This can be tamped in or extracted by means of the probe attached to the mouthpiece plate. To enable the pipe to stay upright on a table, two dimples have been made in the underside of the cylinder to act as feet. Brials were available in natural aluminum, brass anodized finish, or black. The pipe was patented and manufactured by Salimar Oden in Jefferson Historic District, Muskegon, Michigan. It is believed he continued to market them until his move to Florida in 2000. I try my best to take good pictures from many angles. But, since I am not a professional photographer, the pipes always look better in person. If you require more pictures on a pipe you're interested in, just ask. I try very hard to get the "ghosts" out of every pipe. This is usually possible, but occasionally, no matter how hard I try, and with every method exhausted (salt & alcohol, Everclear & cotton balls, retort with Everclear, ozone treatment), it just isn't possible. It's the nature of the beast, I suppose. God knows what some people smoked and how much of it. I hand sand and polish all my pipe stems rather than on the buffing wheel. It's just my preference. I also always ream the bowls down to briar. I do not leave any cake. I follow it up with an organic food grade bowl coating. If bowl coatings aren't your thing, then it's easily removed with a damp paper towel. I very rarely use tenon expanders on loose stems. Most of the time, bees wax does the trick just fine. I prepare all my pipes to my preferences. If they aren't your preferences, I'm sorry but you don't have to buy any. This is how I prefer it to be done. You don't have to agree and again, you don't have to buy any. If any significant repairs were done, then it will definitely be stated in detail. All pipes that I sell as refurbished, refreshed, repaired, restored, etc. will be in ready to smoke condition. Just add your tobacco of choice, and you're ready to go. The prices I ask for my pipes are a reflection of the work that went into them and the materials/supplies used. This is not a cheap process and can be very time-consuming. I offer my services on pipes so anyone interested can contact me for more information. I also buy pipes. It can be 1 pipe or many. Just contact me to work it out the details.
