I picked up an old Peterson 314 System Standard tobacco pipe that was in really bad condition. I performed the following restorations:
- sanded, polished, and waxed the briar
- polished the silver ring
- restored the stem
- reamed and repaired the tobacco chamber with ash/honey.
Below are before/after pictures of the project:

Nice job Sam!
Lovely! I picked up a Peterson’s Galway with sterling silver band (unexpected!) at a local estate auction last week end. I hope mine comes out half as well as yours
