Proctus (UNSMOKED) De Luxe Old Briar (Viggo Nielsen) Lg. Billiard Pipe, MINT!

Description: Proctus De Luxe Old Briar Billiard Pipe UNSMOKED, c1960’s, by Viggo Nielsen! Danish Beauty. Hand-cut Stem About this Pipe: Proctus pipes are out of Denmark, and thought to be made by Danish carver Viggo Nielsen (of Bari) in the 1960's. Some have vertical hand rustication and some smooth, model names are known to be DE LUXE and OLD BRIAR. This unsmoked (only one I’ve had in NOS condition) Billiard is near perfect to me in size, shape and briar. I love the inner bevel on the rim and its s perfect example of a classic Billiard with some Danish styling. Though I’ve seen models of De Luxe and had a couple, this is stamped Old Briar in addition to De Luxe. These handmade pipes out of Denmark were hand made and the stems hand cut by the famous Viggo Nielsen. This is a real piece of art and should make for a top smoker. It’s the only smooth finish I’ve seen in the 5 years I’ve been checking for them. While they’re out there, they aren’t nearly as common in my experience and it’s the only one I have. It has some beautiful flame grain and in near mint / mint condition. I’ve fully restored it, in this case making sure the stem is de-oxidized, treated with Obisidian Stem Oil and hand polished to a very smooth, deep and shiny black with no marks. The briar was carefully buffed to remove any accumulations over the years and old wax, leaving it very smooth and shiny. I then applied multiple coats of fresh carnauba wax over a days time. I apply thin layers and let them rest, buff and repeat. The finished stack of thin layers provides a long lasting, durable and protective coating and makes the stain and grain pop out very nicely. It’s hand buffed after for some time and then I stare at it a good while. :) This vintage Danish pipe is very clean and ready to smoke out of the box. - P Please look at the photos as they’re your indication of condition along with dimensions, that are listed below.

RETURN POLICIES & MORE INFO: INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: - CANADA + Elsewhere: I ship internationally though there are some countries too high risk to ship to. I also have to insure all international packages due to higher risk. Any overages will be refunded. With shipping, if you purchase a couple pipes separately and I’ve not yet packed them, I’ll refund the extra charge as I can combine them I can quote the cost and allow for shipping at your request If there is not an option available automatically. Please message me on this any time. I will only charge the cost of the postage plus insurance as it’s a bit more risky. It’s about $1 per $100 of insurance. If the cost of shipping to your area is less, I’ll refund any excess charges as well. - ABOUT ME: I am obsessed with the hobby and have a deep love for it in all respects. I collect pipes and grow my cellar while enjoying several bowls a day. I have invested a large amount of money into my shop and I am always working on improving. As soon as I’m able to get a home with the room, I’ll build my own shop and be making pipes much of the day too. It has to be home as I always need to be close to my son. - I am a stay-at-home dad for my special needs son who is amazing and my pride and joy. I really needed a way to feel accomplishment and stay busy while trying to earn a bit extra for equine therapy and other services that will help him and have fun too. This has really helped a lot and while stressful at times, such a fun thing to spend time doing. I do struggle to reply here and there if a lot is going on. If I take a bit longer to reply to questions or requests, I apologize in advance. SHIPPING TIMES / LOST ITEMS: I don’t own the United States Postal Service. Once I’ve shipped your package, I have NO control on delays. I almost always will ship the same or next business day. I put within 1-3 business days as sometimes on busier weeks, I’ll need an extra day to properly pack everything. I’ve never had an item arrive damaged. In most cases, I have a poly bag on top to make it rain resistant and a bit more secure. The exception is if the package is larger than standard. I don’t profit off of the shipping fee. My fees are for postage and materials only. RETURNS: If you’re not 100% happy, please let me know. I’ll do whatever is fair to fix any problems. I accept returns within 1 week of arrival (unless stated as longer) and I can be flexible there. We all have lives. Returns accepted provided that: The item has not been used. It is in exact same condition as the photos in the ad and when I sent it out. Buyer pays shipping for returns unless there is an error on my end in which case I will cover the cost. I almost never get a return. I try hard to not have any surprises and you get what you see or better in person. I RARELY ever get a return. I can count on one hand how many, over several years and it’s usually because the pipe is smaller or larger than a customer expected. This is why I ask twice in the ad to review dimensions I carefully take. If you have any concerns about size, I’m happy to provide a few more photos to you with some size comparisons of your request. Refunds are for the cost of the pipes shipping if it’s your choice. If there’s a mistake on my part, I’ll pay for all of course. I very much want you to be extremely happy with your purchases. Not just for business, but because I’m an enthusiast and want the same myself. If you ever have questions on any of this, feel free to email me. I’ll respond as soon as it’s possible. The site can spam my inbox a lot or glitches can happen, so sometimes they get lost or buried beneath others. Feel free to send again if I don’t reply as it’s never intentional. ~ Peter - Radiant Pipes
