PAUL'S CAYUGA OIL CURED ☆☆ (2 stars)

PAUL’S CAYUGA OIL CURED ☆☆ (two star)

This is a full-size, bent shape pipe from Paul's Cayuga.

PAUL’S CAYUGA is a pipe and tobacco shop opened by Paul T. Spaniola, who was a six-time national pipe smoking champion.
It seems they have been making pipes with oil-cured briar since the shop first opened. (from pipedia)

Currently, his grandson(?) is active in the business.

Condition:
There is no charring on the bowl top, but the varnish has come off (see photos).
The chamber is in good condition, and the stem is not loose. The mouthpiece has no bite marks, but there are about two small dents that look like impact marks.
There are some areas with filler and dents.

This is likely a pipe from their standard, more affordable line, not their premium line. How about this opportunity?
