This is a handsome Group 4 Bruyere with saddle bit. Nomenclature is
not strong. The 6 of the shape number 60 F/T is very hard to see.
The rest is readable without eye strain. There are a couple of dark
spots, one on the shank and the other on the bowl which are almost
certainly from a hot cigar or embers in an ashtray. There is no
charring on the inside of the bowl to indicate otherwise. There's
some darkening on the rim and the front edge of the rim. It's a cross
grain with nice birdseye on both sides of the bowl. There is a very
small impression on the upper lip. Length: 5 3/8
Height: 1 3/4
Chamber: 3/4
Bowl: 1 1/2
Depth: 1 1/2
Weight: 1.4 ounces (28.3 grams/ounce) |
