Everyday I run a search on EBay for Disney pipes. Have seen some in dire need of restoration for sale at times but they were saveable. The one listed now makes me wonder why anyone would think it was worth selling.
It is an Oom Paul. Even if one overlooked the fact that it has possibly the worst rustication in history and a replacement stem even a blind man could identify as such, those are not it's worst problems. The rim of the bowl is so badly charred that I would bet money someone lit it with a welding torch. As if that wasn't bad enough, there is a "split" on the front of the bowl so wide, if it was in the ground, it would be named and have safety rails around it.
You couldn't even make a decent tamper out of it because the "Italy" and "Disney" marks overlap. It is just sad. Instead of being put on EBay that poor thing should be taken out and shot just so it's suffering would be over.
