This arrived today. I’m fixing this up for a friend. This is a first for me. I’ve seen plenty of spider webs but never a wasp nest. BBB Thornycroft   |

Nice looking BBB, in decent shape. Might smoke better with the honeycomb screen on the bottom if it’s petrified......lol

Classic British Bulldog. I love the BBB Diamond logo. Well worth your time to restore.
** I saw the thread title and thought it might be regarding Bee Hive pipes (of which I have 2).

Once you get it cleaned up it'l be a good 'un for sure. I have two of thoseand love 'em! ( I'm smoking one as I type!) Until about a decade ago, all BBBs were made from oil cured Algerian Briar which made them so good!  |

I love it. A bit of a forward cant to the bowl, but I still love it.  |

I love it. A bit of a forward cant to the bowl, but I still love it. That slight forward cant is what caught my eye, nice looking and a bit different at the same time. |

The old BBB Thornycroft pipes were excellent smokers. I still have one in my collection that’s a favorite. I believe you will be well satisfied with yours.

This is why this man has done over 200 of my pipes. Great work! Pretty sure it's around that many.
