Ornsby Pipe

A recent Ebay purchase.
The pipe is unsmoked and in perfect condition.
So now i need to find a tapered reamer so i can make bowls for it. 

Strange looking smoke hole on closer inspection its just a piece of paper.
The pipe has a nice open draw just as i like it.

Invented by Chief Marine Officer, William Edward Ornsby in an attempt to create a cooler smoke and a dry bowl.
Marketed by the Ornsby Pipe Company Ltd, Pennywell, Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, England, predominately in the North of England, this pipe is virtually a stem direct to bowl.
The push fit stem/bit can be rotated to clear any shreds of tobacco that may be blocking the airway.
A half turn of the stem will cut any trapped leaf in the airway and a quick blow will eject the offending particle.
The packaging was also unusual in that it was a tube
The pipe came with two choices of stem, straight or curved and there was a choice of six bowls: Natural, Brown Sandblast, Black Sandblast, Smooth Mahogany Finish, Deep Cut Horizontal Carved or the Deep Cut Vertical Carved.

  1. WANG! Super cool, can't wait until it has a real bowl on it. Are you going to maintain the double concave profile on the bottom or just go plain?
