Item/Description: Canadian estate pipe by Michael Parks. Standing pipe with smooth finish and decorative inserts. Pipe Stamped: PARKS / V1. 7 (Maple Leaf & Parks Pipe Logo)
Michael Parks is a high-grade pipe maker from Canada. Michael does not make a large number of pipes each year, but he does bring extra-high level to each one that is made. Working with solid vulcanite or acrylic rod for stems, he crafts mouthpieces to as high a degree as he does bowls. Horn, bamboo, or other exotic materials accent many of his pieces. On Michael's best pipes, the stems have an ornate inlay consisting of pieces of abalone shell.
Display stand not included. (Smoking, Tobacco, Tobacciana)
