    see condition in photos please.
    I emailed the company today to locate the date and they replied with 1960's but others have messaged me here that they believe these were made in 1980's. We are unsure of the date. I have been told this cracking is very common and happened to all the bag pipes made at the time these were made, so it isn't just due to our dry desert air, apparently.
