This Edwards author shape is not one you see a lot of. You don’t see rusticated Edwards pipes much period! This is from my personal collection so I didn’t have to do a lot. I soaked the stem in Lbepen solution and sanded it. Then waxed it of course. I scrubbed the outside of the stummel then waxed it. Notice that you can barely make out the “Edwards ” stamping come thru the rustication! It’s a big chamber, serious smoker! I give 10% of all my pipe sales to St Judes Children’s Hospital because I care about the families going thru what they are! Come to think of it, you’d be donating as well!
