Originating as the Rathbone from the "Return of Sherlock Holmes" series, this bent Billiard possesses an unusually lofty bowl, nearly verging upon the proportions of a Stack. The heaviness of the stem, as well as the way in which it bends, however, gives it more of the feel of a bent Dublin, strangely enough. All in all, it is a handsome if unusual design, and this example sports a plethora of fiery birdseye.
