The main thing is the condition of the rim. It looks as though someone had been breaking rocks with it. There is also the discolored area on the shank near the stem. It would probably need to be stripped, re-stained, and polished. The obvious sloppy sanding job on the mouthpiece also makes me nervous. Cleaning I can do, restoring something with that kind of abuse is far beyond my skill level.
