Found an Ascorti Business - Lots of Pictures

Super easy clean up...a ream, and a little hand polish, and you are on the road.
Nice looking pipe!

That's a nice one! I bet it smokes like a charm.

Really Nice

I agree with all of the above. That's a great looking pipe and at that price it's a steal.

Remember to post the post-cleanup photos.

Sweet pipe, Joe.

Cleaned. Polished as much as you can a rusticated pipe. Now letting it sit for another 24 hours to air/dry out from the cleaning.

Soaked the stem in an Oxyclean solution for about an hour. Sanded with micromesh pads (3200, 3600, 6000, 8000 & 12000) Buffed with green polishing compound on my buffer and then applied carnuba wax.

Cleaned the inside of the stem with toothpaste on a bristle pipe cleaner and rinsed with water.

Well done, indeed. It looks new!

Charlie,
I think the previous owner used a torch lighter.
Smoked a bowl of Dunhill 965 in it this morning as a "break-in." My work paid off as I only tasted the tobacco and not any ghosting.

I was able to contact Roberto Silvani Ascorti and asked for information on this pipe.
He said, "It s an ascorti way of bent Dublin.and it s from before 1984."

Nice pipe! It really cleaned up nicely.

It's a lot of fun searching for estate pipes at flea markets and antique stores. You never know what you'll come across.

Thanks for sharing this with us
