Unsmoked Gigi Intermezzo Bent Dublin Vtg W/ Box & Sock! Reg’D, Ca 60-70’s NOS!

Description: Gigi Intermezzo Reg’d Bent Dublin / Zulu Unsmoked Vintage Pipe w/ Orig. Box and Sock! Early Reg’d Model, Nice Flame Grain. Mint Condition. Oval Shank. About this Pipe: **Dimensions are listed further below and other info. Here’s a very cool and pretty uncommon to find vintage Gigi Pipe, unsmoked with original box and sock! A beautiful bent Dublin with flame grain wrapping around the bowl and a nice, raised rim looks great. In addition, it shows off an oval shank instead of the standard round which transitions nicely into the comfortable ebonite stem and a saddle bit mouthpiece. If the bowl was canted forward more, this would be more of a Zulu / Woodstock shape. Registration numbers are also stamped along with normal nomenclature. While I don’t have a ton of experience with Gigi, in general I’ve found Reg’d numbers mostly on early models of pipes but I’ve not verified what years this piece is as there’s not a ton of info on the line. To spiff this pipe up after the decades, I hand polished the stem, removing any oxidation and applied Obsidian Stem Oil as well. The pipe was gently buffed with fine White Diamond that helps the stain pop back, smooths it all out and helps remove any old wax. I then applied fresh coats of carnauba wax and hand buffed with a micro fiber cloth. This vintage, new, old stock pipe is fully ready to smoke out of its box. - About Gigi Pipes: Luigi “Gigi” Crugnola was born in 1934, the same year Giorgio Rovera founded a company in his own name in Varese, Italy along with partners Angelo and Adele Bianchi, who also happened to be Luigi Crugnola’s Uncle and Mother, respectively. The company produced pipes for 30 years, largely exported to America and elsewhere in the world. Crugnola took over the company in 1964 with the death of Angelo Bianchi, changing the name soon after to his own nickname Gigi, and continues to run the company today. The vast majority of Gigi pipes continue to be made for export. - My pipes are all carefully inspected and attended to as needed to provide the best pipe possible. I do my best to offer a fair price. You do get what you pay for though and pricing reflects the large amount of time I spend looking for special and above average pipes before spending hours on each piece, inspecting it carefully and doing all restorations as needed to bring it to the back to the best it can be. I take no consideration of time put into a pipe no matter the value of the pipe. I offer the best piece I can and you will get what you pay for. Please check out my reviews to see my commitment to this! Thank you, Peter Please look at the photos as they’re your indication of condition along with dimensions, that are listed below.

More about Radiant Pipes: — BELOW: RETURN POLICIES, RESTORATION PROCESS, & MORE INFO. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: - CANADA + Elsewhere: I’ve made it available for Canada and other countries. For Canada, it’s typically $19.99 and costs me about $17 to ship and I insure it due to higher risk. After shipping materials, I take a loss actually but want these affordable for our friends up North! 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 refund any excess costs when there are any. 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. I BELIEVE IN THE GOLDEN RULE. I sell and ship everything as I’d expect to receive it myself or better. - 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 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: 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 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 it 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. Why the Fake Grass? - It helps the pipes stay in position for taking photos actually. It works so well, I’ve not changed to something a bit less funny looking. It stands out too doesn’t it? 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
