YOU ARE LOOKING AT A SUPER CLEAN, PRE-SMOKED, ESTATE "OLD ENGLAND by SASIENI, LONDON MADE, PIPE"  THIS PIPE IS IN "VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION"  I CATEGORIZE A PIPE'S CONDITION HEAVILY ON THE BOWL AND SHANK AND MUCH LESS ON THE STEM, SINCE A STEM IS EASILY REPLACEABLE!   I EXAMINED THIS ENTIRE PIPE WITH A  20x - 21mm  JEWELER's MAGNIFIER AND  FOUND  IT TO BE  VIRTUALLY FREE OF ANY MAJOR DEFECTS EXCEPT FOR A MINUTE INDENTATION ON THE RIM, A SMALL CHIP (LESS THAN 3mm) AND SEVERAL FILLS (< 13) HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO CRACKS, NO CHARRING ON THE BOWL's RIM AND NO TOOTH-IMPRESSIONS ON THE STEM.  THE STAMPINGS ARE FAIRLYCLEAR AND READABLE.     

IN 1896, AT THE AGE OF 13 YEARS, JOEL SASIENI BEGAN HIS CAREER WORKING AS AN APPRENTICE PIPE-MAKER FOR "CHARATAN".  HE LEFT "CHARATAN" IN 1910 TO JOIN "ALFRED DUNHILL'S NEW PIPE-MAKING OPERATION AS FACTORY SUPERINTENDENT. SASIENI LEFT DUNHILL IN 1918 TO START HIS OWN PIPE MAKING FIRM IN LONDON ONE YEAR LATER. SHORTLY THERE AFTER, THE FACTORY WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE, BUT JOEL, WHO WAS POPULARLY CALLED "LITTLE JOE" BECAUSE OF HIS SHORT STATURE PROVED HIS SPUNK & QUICKLY REBUILT. HIS SON, ALFRED, TOOK OVER THE COMPANY'S REINS AFTER JOEL PASSED AWAY IN DECEMBER 1945. THE MAJORITY OF SASIENI PIPES WERE EXPORTED TO THE UNITED STATES, WHERE THEY WERE RENOWNED FOR THEIR FAMOUS EIGHT DOT & FOUR DOT SERIES OF "FIRSTS".  BECAUSE JOEL TOOK EXTRA TIME IN AGING HIS BRIAR AND EMPLOYED A VARIATION OF THE OIL-CURING PROCESS THAT HE HAD USED AT "ALFRED DUNHILL'S" (A STOVING TECHNIQUE LATER SASIENI ADS TOUTED AS "MATURED by PATENT PROCESS"), THE SASIENI'S HAD A REPUTATION FOR BEING EXTREMELY DRY SMOKING, WHICH MADE THEM ALL MORE IN DEMAND!  "SASIENI" WOULD ENLIST THE ENDORSEMENTS OF MANY HOLLYWOOD STARS. 

THE COLOR IS A DARK HONEY WALNUT, WITH A SMOOTH FINISH, A NICE SIZED MEDIUM THICK BOWL WITH  SHARP EDGES , A ROUND SHANK, WITH A FLAT BOTTOM WHICH MAKES THIS PIPE A GREAT SITTER STRAIGHT, SADDLE, PUSH-IN STEM  THAT HAS A SNUG FIT. THE STAMPINGS ARE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SHANK  "OLD ENGLAND" over  "LONDON MADE"  over  "by SASIENI"  ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SHANK IS "MADE IN ENGLAND"  AND TO THE RIGHT OF THAT IS "55"  THE GRAINING ON THIS PIPE IS EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL TO SAY THE LEAST, THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE SHANK IS A FLAME GRAIN WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF BIRDSEYE  ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE SHANK IS A CROSS GRAIN, ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE BOWL IS A CROSS GRAIN; THE BACK OF THE BOWL IS A PROMINENT FLAME GRAIN AND LASTLY THE FRONT OF THE BOWL IS A QUITE UNIQUE  HALF CROSS AND HALF FLAME GRAIN.  

THIS PIPES DIMENSION'S ARE APPROXIMATELY  5 7/8" IN LENGTH, THE BOWL IS 1 1/2" IN DIAMETER AND  1 1/2" IN DEPTH AND 1 3/4" IN HEIGHT!  THE PIPE STANDS ARE NOT INCLUDED!   THIS "OLD ENGLAND by SASIENI PIPE"  HAS BEEN CLEANED, POLISHED AND BUFFED AND IS READY TO BE SHIPPED TO YOUR HOME FOR YOU TO ENJOY A RELAXING SMOKE WITH YOUR ELEGANT NEW PIPE!  THIS "OLD ENGLAND by SASIENI PIPE" WILL BE  BOTH AN EXCEPTIONAL AND A PRESTIGIOUS ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION!
