Apparently the Shilling designation was reserved for deeply blasted Cumberlands. Is it also a synonym for Ring Grain? I don’t know. The pipe is also described as rare, or even very rare. Again, I don’t know. In any event, this pipe is in excellent condition with quite thick walls. It’s a Pot, more or less, but does not have the classic Pot characteristic of a greater bowl diameter than the bowl height. I wouldn’t worry about that any more than I worry about a play not adhering to the Aristotelian principle of having to take place in one 24 hr. period.
5.95” long, bowl 1.6” tall. Weight: 1.5 oz., 44 grams.
