An absolute masterclass in classic British proportions. This Masta Patent Standard Shape 97 features the timeless, sleek silhouette of a traditional Prince—boasting a low-slung, rounded bowl paired with a long, slender stem. Thoroughly deoxidized, and buffed to a deep gloss, this piece delivers vintage English pedigree and effortless, lightweight jaw-hanging comfort at a fraction of premier collector prices.
If you appreciate refined, lightweight pipes that sit effortlessly in the teeth, this Masta Patent Standard #97 is about as classic as it gets.
Originating from the post-war British manufacturing tradition (part of the consolidated Dunhill Parker-Hardcastle family), this Prince shape showcases a perfectly rounded, squat bowl with smooth transition lines extending into a sweeping, slender shank and stem. The warm, natural amber stain highlights a subtle mix of bird's-eye on the flanks and tight grain across the base.
Condition & Restoration Notes:
Briar: Cleaned, nourished, and hand-buffed to a high shine. The wood exhibits a few minor, original factory fills and very light handling marks expected for its era—honest character that completely fades into the overall gloss. The rim is clean, smooth, and square.
Stem: The original vulcanite stem underwent extensive deoxidation, and hand polishing. It sits just a hair away from factory jet-black with a brilliant luster. Only the faintest, microscopic chatter remains under ultra-close inspection near the bit.
Chamber: Fully reamed, and ready for its first bowl out of the box.
