Burnout means the pipe has or soon will have a hole burned through the bowl. Tooth indentation is tooth wear on the stem. It may be light or heavy. In a sale of an estate pipe it's an important disclosure. A hole at the bit really makes the stem look shitty. It makes smoking unpleasant too. You can get new stems, but for a Comoy's, it would not be cheap!

If I paid top dollar for a pipe and received it with undisclosed flaws, I'd be majorly pissed too!
