Description: This has a cool tapered ottom - meaning, the bowl slighlty tapers to the middle creating a ridge line. Not sure if it was intended this way, but it rests on that ridge on a slant (not sure if it will do the same with tobacco innit, but empty it rests as photographed). Estate pipe, listed as used because it was pre-owned but the bowl is clean, looks unused. Marked J.C. handmade, and it comes directly out of a pipe makers estate who was well known locally to repair and create. J.C. Cortegiano. From pipedia - Joseph (Joe) Cortegiano was a highly renowned Pipemaker in New York City, widely famed for the precision and care of his work. He was particularly known for his big freehands, which enjoyed large demand and were reported to be selling as easy as ice cream on a hot day. If we say big, we should think big: one has to imagine pipes a la Ser Jacopo maxima maxima maxima. Or even bigger. Cortegiano pipes were stored in the most famous pipe shops of NYC like E. Wilke on Madison Avenue. He worked also for Barclay Rex. Sold as is. Look closely at photos to determine condition. Minor flaws
