Sure Grip Straight Billiard New

I couldn't find out anything about this Sure Grip Straight Billiard, but I can understand the name. This briar has a finely detailed pebble-style rustication with a semi-gloss black finish. 
There's a faux bone shank extension, although I can't identify the material. It has a couple of tiny fissures starting at the shank end that have been stabilized by our master pipe maker/restorer Dan Chlebove. The military-style stem is black, nice and thin, and free of tooth marks. It's a pretty handsome pipe of average size and will be a nice bargain for someone.
