120? How about [20](Castleford 5 Piece Multi-Fit Tobacco Pipe Reamer Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WR1NIM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6RDrybZDSYMWX) I like these better then the senior reamer but that may just be a personal choice.

Agreed. Get a reamer, and go slow (shaving off bits rather than taking off chunks; don't want to "grab" the crack). I have the Senior Reamer, although I've heard others have been happy with these.

Lord Eden is one of many names produced by Norma de México S.A. for B&M tobacco stores in Mexico. Pipedia doesn't have more than that so I wouldn't worry too about ruining it (provided you didn't pay a lot for it).

I am still learning restoration but I have a few under my belt. Take my $0.02 for what its worth. I don't see any problems with the finish, dents that need steaming, or fills that have fallen out. Here's what I would do.

  1. Ream cake back to almost bare briar. I have a Castleford reamer and it works really well for cleaning up flea market and antique store pipes. If you don't know if this is something you will enjoy, and don't want to spend any money just wrap some fine sandpaper around a dowel and go carefully.

  2. Remove the stem and clean it throughly. Do the oxyclean treatment to remove oxidation. Do a quick google search there are plenty of descriptions.

  3. Clean the shank. Some people use everclear, I like to use 92% isopropyl alcohol because it is dirt cheap. You will use more pipe cleaners than you can possibly imagine. Bristle cleaners help. If you have a shank brush or other nylon brushes they will help too. try really hard not to get alcohol on the finish it could ruin it.

  4. Keep cleaning the shank. You are lying to yourself if you think it is clean. Does a damp pipe cleaner come out looking new? If not you still have more to go. You might use dozens of pipe cleaners.

  5. With a cotton cloth lightly dampened with alcohol gently clean the rim as best you can.

  6. If you have access to a buffing wheel setup (my first one was buffing wheel chucked in an electric drill wire tied to a saw horse) give the whole thing a once over with brown tripoli followed by a good coat of carnauba wax. If you don't then just buff will a good paste car wax by hand.

  7. Smoke it a few times with a simple burley blend (I like Carter Hall) that should exorcise any ghosts. If it is still strongly ghosted, and you are sure you cleaned it really well, then try the salt and alcohol treatment.

I think those T Handle ones (like this) are the most effective.

It's not as controlled as a senior reamer, or in my opinion, an even more controlled route, the Castleford reamer.
