Mint unfished condition with the paper and gum strips still on the grip. Very fine delicate tips. The bamboo shafts are flamed with light nodes. The tips are mirrored. Brown main wraps with black edges on all, and an extra band of yellow and purple at the keeper and ferrules. Agate stripper and black snake guides. The step ferrules are oxidized jet black. The cork grip is 5 1/4" long and turned into a medium cigar profile. The slide band seat has at least one coat of varnish on it and the wood is an impressive smokey walnut. The cap and ring are oxidized jet black. The cap sports the die stamp "W.E. Carpenter, Maker". One tip has a slight downward set coming out of the ferrule. The tan cloth bag has Walt's hang tag.

There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
