Description
Savinelli Straight Grain Pipe in an elegant straight form (7004), made from Italian briar of the highest quality, characterized by a continuous, well-defined straight grain along the entire surface of the bowl and the shank.
The finish is smooth and natural, with a warm, transparent polish that enhances the wood grain without masking its texture. The head has classic, well-balanced proportions, with a regular edge and an integrated combustion chamber.
The mouthpiece is made of black ebonite, an original Savinelli piece, with a slim and elegant profile, correctly aligned with the shank.
The markings appear sharp and consistent:
SAVINELLI
“STRAIGHT GRAIN”
Letter C
Number 7004
“ITALY” with Savinelli shield
Estimated dating
1970s – early 1980s
Dating based on:
style of markings
use of the term Straight Grain (Savinelli historical period)
