After searching for the right "poker" i decided for this one:
Sara Eltang Sandblast Poker
(From http://www.scandpipes.com/, Mr.Per Billhäll was a real pleasure to deal with, strongly recomended.)
Ready to be filled with Chelsea Morning, first bowl ever with this tobacco.
Also a lighter i bought recently, IM Corona Old Boy.

I like the poker design
My link, one rack I built the other I bought. Tell me what you think. Looking forward to everyone visiting my album..
Great pipe guys. Some very interesting collections.
Nice pipe Vitor!
Nice looking pipe Vitor
I've been wanting to get a poker. Seems like it would be a great pipe for working out in the yard or in the garage. I think I'll probably go for a slightly lower grade than an Eltang for a "working" pipe though 
I just finished uploading pictures of all of my pipes.
The only pipes I didn't take photos of are my Missouri Meerschaum Pipes, I have around 7 various MM pipes. They are cobs and Maple Hardwood.
Nice looking pipes Bob! I especially like the Karl Eric & Luciano bulldogs, as well as the Nording Freehand (the one near the bottom)!
Thanks Bytor!
I also like the look of the Nording at the bottom over the one with the white stem. Although they both are pretty good smokers, the one with the white stem is a little beaten up.
The reason that I bought the one with the white stem is;
I was at a B&M one time and the lady who was working there was telling me about some pipes that they had in the back for a few years. They were pipes that customers had brought in for repairs and had never picked them up. She wanted to know if I wanted to take a look at them and I said 'sure'. When she brought them out I noticed the Nording right away because the stem was brand new. I Looked it over and although it was a little beat up, it was still in overall good condition and had been cleaned and had a new stem put on it.
I asked her how much they wanted for it and she told me they just wanted to get the repair bill money for it. I asked her how much and she said $20.00. So I bought it. $20.00 for a Nording Freehand is a great deal IMO. You can barely get a Dr. Grabow for that kind of money these days.
That is how I came to own that pipe.
(EDIT: I had typed: "$20.00 for a Nording Freehand is not a great deal" I meant to say that it is a great deal. I fixed it.)
The Ropp and Jake Hackert pipes or way cool. I see an ebay Ropp in my future and I emailed Jake to inquire about an antler poker.

Nice pipes Bob...
Nice pipes Bob, I really like the Karl Eric bent bulldog.
I managed to get a few shots of some of the collection.

Yes! I am a pipe junkie
Unclearthur,
I really love the Art Nouveau rack with the face carved on it! As I understand it, racks to hang pipes upside down are common in Europe. Of course there are naysayers on both sides of the pipe racking argument, but I've been thinking about someday getting a coated wire rack similar to a shower caddy type thing and putting pipes in it after they've dried overnight. The Abbey racks I have now don't offer much elbow room, so to speak.
Do you notice any difference? Something tells me if there is one, it'd be slight.
I notice no real difference. I use the hanging racks exclusively for clays. They are absorbent enough that it's hard to get them wet. Besides the pretty carved lady Is so nice! And yes that rack is carved from one piece . I can't begin to imagine what one would cost today new.

unclearthur I just had to put my 2 cents in and tell you what a nice collection that is.
Thanks brazz. I still need to grab pictures of the rest. For now this is fine.
Nice collection Uncle!
I added the link to your album to your previous post.
Art:
You really oughta get some pipes.
WOW!
Nice collection.
Thanks Bob,for some reason it didn't want to work for me.
Jonesing, I still have to take pictures of the other half! LOL These should last me as long as I am going to be around.

Yeee haw!
Nice pipe Phil.
Oh by the way, I hear these internets have this whiz bang feature they call bookmarks.

Congrats on your new toy.

It was a work computer I was on and the setting don't let you save "favorites"...
Now that I'm the proud owner... can someone tell me about this pipe? I went for the shape and the price w/o research...
Hey Jonesing, thanks for the info...definitely worth looking into!
Phil...nice grab on that horn!
I was watching one on ebay last week, but it wasn't meant to be as it went for $7,900....LMAO it was a Bo Nordh!
Nice pipe phil.
Well it's a Cobra half blast right?
Can't find much about them as far a price and stuff and didn't' spend enough time to learn what the different grades and finishes are. BC is obviously a respected maker. I don't find a similar finish at P&C but their BC pipes are priced between $85-150 so it looks like you did OK.
When shall we expect your mini review?
Phil:
I dare ya to buy this one.
Here is a picture of the Dr. Grabow Omega bent I picked up on eBay for $10.
