Picked up at a yard sale Saturday, .75 cents..

As found: A Mastercraft- Standard- Made in England

After a little clean up and a coat of carnauba wax.

The draw on it is a little restrictive, and stinger won't come out, so I'm thinking of cutting it off and then drilling it out of the stem...?

Nice looking pipe Jeff and a great find too. The bowl looks like it can hold a load of your favorite tobaccy. Don't know much about your remodel question as you may want to post that in the "Ask an old fart a question" thread

Mastercraft was the company that at one time owned Dr. Grabow. If that pipe is like the other Grabows the stinger should just pull out, but sometimes those old pipes get very stiff after all the years. If you don't care about the stinger grab it with a pair of pliers and twist while pulling out. If you think you may want to save it wrap it with a old towel or rag before using the pliers.
