Rare Briar Lee 98 Diplomat Vintage Pipe 1950-60’s UNSMOKED Handmade Style NOS

Description: Briar Lee 98 Lmtd Edition Med. Diplomat / Squat Tomato, NOS / Smoked Once Maybe, Mint Condition. 1950-60’s. Vulcanite Stem. USA Made *** PLEASE REVIEW DIMENSIONS BEFORE PURCHASING SO IT IS THE SIZE YOU WANT. - P This pipe was sold as unsmoked and appears to be although I see very slight hints of dark areas but this also happens from heat and the drilling process. It’s either unsmoked or smoked once in my opinion. Either way, it’s virtually new, old stock at least. Briar Lee 98 Limited Edition was a well-known limited run of pipes with only a small number produced, making it a collectible piece today. Research says these were made mid-century so I’m guessing 1950’s-60’s. This medium size pipe is similar in style to an Author or Diplomat shape though it could also be called a bent tomato. It has a Hand-Made style akin to the Kaywoodie Hand Made editions, Yello Bole and Custombilt pipes with the wide body and carved wide grooves. It is unsmoked and in mint condition, sporting a Vulcanite stem and intact stinger. The stem aligns straight and true. The pipe has been buffed gently to remove any accumulations and shine it up, de-oxidized stem for a deep black finish and the metal has been cleaned and polished. It then received fresh coats of Carnauba wax and finally hand buffed. - You get what you pay for. My pipes are all carefully inspected and attended to in order to provide the best possible. Meticulous restorations are done as needed to provide the best possible pipe. Please check out my reviews to see my commitment to this! The photos provide you an important part of the condition as well as the description and dimensions. Carefully review these and ask any questions prior to purchase. - Peter Pipe Info and Dimensions: Brand: Briar Lee Shape: 98 Half-Bent Squat Apple Country: USA Estimated Age: 1950’s-70’s Nomenclature: BRIAR LEE IMPORTED BRIAR 98 Dimensions: Length: 5.05” Bowl Height: 1.33” Bowl Width: 1.57” Chamber Diameter: 0.75” Chamber Depth: 1.10” Weight: 1.20 ounces Filter: Stinger aka Metal Condenser & Heat Sink for a cooler, dryer smoke.

RETURN POLICIES & MORE INFO: INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: - CANADA + Elsewhere: I ship internationally though there are some countries too high risk to ship to. I also have to insure all international packages due to higher risk. Any overages will be refunded. With shipping, if you purchase a couple pipes separately and I’ve not yet packed them, I’ll refund the extra charge as I can combine them I can quote the cost and allow for shipping at your request If there is not an option available automatically. Please message me on this any time. I will only charge the cost of the postage plus insurance as it’s a bit more risky. It’s about $1 per $100 of insurance. If the cost of shipping to your area is less, I’ll refund any excess charges as well. - ABOUT ME: I am obsessed with the hobby and have a deep love for it in all respects. I collect pipes and grow my cellar while enjoying several bowls a day. I have invested a large amount of money into my shop and I am always working on improving. As soon as I’m able to get a home with the room, I’ll build my own shop and be making pipes much of the day too. It has to be home as I always need to be close to my son. - I am a stay-at-home dad for my special needs son who is amazing and my pride and joy. I really needed a way to feel accomplishment and stay busy while trying to earn a bit extra for equine therapy and other services that will help him and have fun too. This has really helped a lot and while stressful at times, such a fun thing to spend time doing. I do struggle to reply here and there if a lot is going on. If I take a bit longer to reply to questions or requests, I apologize in advance. SHIPPING TIMES / LOST ITEMS: I don’t own the United States Postal Service. Once I’ve shipped your package, I have NO control on delays. I almost always will ship the same or next business day. I put within 1-3 business days as sometimes on busier weeks, I’ll need an extra day to properly pack everything. I’ve never had an item arrive damaged. In most cases, I have a poly bag on top to make it rain resistant and a bit more secure. The exception is if the package is larger than standard. I don’t profit off of the shipping fee. My fees are for postage and materials only. RETURNS: If you’re not 100% happy, please let me know. I’ll do whatever is fair to fix any problems. I accept returns within 1 week of arrival (unless stated as longer) and I can be flexible there. We all have lives. Returns accepted provided that: The item has not been used. It is in exact same condition as the photos in the ad and when I sent it out. Buyer pays shipping for returns unless there is an error on my end in which case I will cover the cost. I almost never get a return. I try hard to not have any surprises and you get what you see or better in person. I RARELY ever get a return. I can count on one hand how many, over several years and it’s usually because the pipe is smaller or larger than a customer expected. This is why I ask twice in the ad to review dimensions I carefully take. If you have any concerns about size, I’m happy to provide a few more photos to you with some size comparisons of your request. Refunds are for the cost of the pipes shipping if it’s your choice. If there’s a mistake on my part, I’ll pay for all of course. I very much want you to be extremely happy with your purchases. Not just for business, but because I’m an enthusiast and want the same myself. If you ever have questions on any of this, feel free to email me. I’ll respond as soon as it’s possible. The site can spam my inbox a lot or glitches can happen, so sometimes they get lost or buried beneath others. Feel free to send again if I don’t reply as it’s never intentional. ~ Peter - Radiant Pipes
