    Pipe Collection

    If you’re going after a certain collection, it will change over the years with your budget and knowledge and appreciation of history and other’s passions towards what they enjoy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a Pipe By Lee and considered it because of another’s praise for them. I...

    Old Pipe Rack with Humidor

    Be super careful with those when closing the lid. They like to grab your stems and break them. Cool find!

    Domengo

    Is the forward tilt typically parallel with the rear and front of the bowl? Or are there different angles/degrees with the front not matching the rear when tilted forward? I appreciate your attention to detail.

    Comoy’s London Pride 430

    Spot on. I’d say early 1950s

    Rock Ambera and Amber Stems

    Ca 1920s if that helps determine the quality or type of amber.

    Rock Ambera and Amber Stems

    Thank you. So how do you clean them? Cold water and mild soap? Have you ever cleaned up the chatter on them similar to plastic/rubber stems?

    Comoy’s London Pride 430

    I’ve seen them on quite a few 1920s-early 1950s pipes. The earlier ones being the royal and tradition. The latter being blue ribbon and tradition. So, in line with what SS was saying, just a little earlier than the 40s. Really cool pipe!

    Rock Ambera and Amber Stems

    Question for the group. Rock Ambera Stems from Kaywoodie: water or alcohol for cleaning? Amber stems: alcohol or water or does it matter with these? Is it the same process with sandpaper/mesh for chatter as acrylic & vulcanite stems? Or is this different being a mineral? I appreciate any...

    Pipe Documentary

    I was anticipating it for about 6 months before it came out, but never made it through the whole thing! What did they have going on for promos? Was it a type of fundraising? Any cool swag?

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I’ve had several of the 1920s-30s ones. They don’t have an apostrophe before the S in Comoy’s and they have a football shape logo. This one here is much later version.

    RRS Magnum Bent Mystery

    I see you’ve played knifey spoon before (said in an Australian accent).

    RRS Magnum Bent Mystery

    She’s a beaut. Agree with the age and COM. What are you using as a tray holding all those nice lighters and gadgets?

    Bags for shipping?

    You’ll have to send me a few in each type of packing material. I’ll kindly let you know which one is preferred.

    Bitcoin

    WWWFX is an option. I’d have to look again, but around 20% is in BTC. I personally think BTC will go extremely high, only because I’m in it for the long run, decades. It’s good to watch for patterns. Same with NRGU and NRGD with oil and COVID shut downs and wars. Also been watching...

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    It’s so interesting. So initially I was focusing on the second black dot size, but noticed 2 are larger than the others and not just 1 is different. Even the layout of the third dot/second black dot varies.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    You just can’t seem to let shit go can you? It’s a faux hallmark. What do you want to prove someone right? Yourself? Not including links because you’ve been wrong so many time before?

    Anyone have Dunhill innertubes?

    I have a few extras. One from the 20s and 1 from the 30s. A few from 60s on. Not perfect condition, but presentable in keeping something complete.
