Below is a rare Bruyere Patent 120 Bent. This one has significant rim damage. The pipe received full Platinum Service, and I topped the rim and matched the stain perfectly.



Another Platinum Service piece, this old ODA Shell Billiard was in very rough shape. I took the photo after I reamed the bowl, and the cake was quite thick and hard. below are the results; It really came out nice!
 




The pipe below is an old Dunhill ODA Bruyere. The finish was completely faded - basically gone! Another full Platinum Service on this one, and I brought the stain back to the era-correct color.





Here is a very old Castello 84 SC from Ebay. Very rough condition - this one required full Platinum Service and re-stain to bring back the original color.







Below is a GBD 1451 Canadian made for House of Uhle Pipe Shop. Nasty, huh? This one was in rough shape and the interior was filthy. Bowl had thick, hard cake, stem was heavily oxidized with serious toothmarks in the button and the color was extremely faded. "Platinum " service (complete restoration) on this one. Cake removal, full interior clean and sanitize, remove all stem oxidation and reshape the button and complete re-stain.



Below are the results.

The pipe below is a "Pickwick", which is a Comoy's made for John Surrey LTD tobacco shop of New York. Another Platinum Service piece, when I got the buildup off of the rim I noticed heavy charring so I topped and matched stain. Below are the results.
