So I was in this antique store today with the wife, looking for a new dining table suitable for the duplex half we are fixing to move in later this month (hopefully) and I came across this case. My long friend and antique dealer, who usually doesn't deal in tabacina, bought this wholesale with a bunch of other stuff. I picked up a ronson vintage that I am restoring as we speak, a no name (well it does say "major pipes" on it and "imported briar" oppsoite) bulldog, a GBD, a Chacome - all restoration projects, a vintage cigar v cutter, a cigarette holder, and a crystal double pipe stand, all which my friend was kind enough to offer for free on the account of all the other furniture we bought.
The daily pipe set caught my eye, although they seemed cheaply made .. they all had that metal filter insert similar to what the Murray brand uses (I believe I have labeled this brand as the Brirish Dr. Grabow in the past).
Oh, don't bother asking about meers, most cases were empty. The rodesian had a broken tenon, and another one that is not visible in the pics was very beaten up. The opium pipe is interesting though, and the early falcon ..
I will post pictures with the restorations as they come along. This really lit up the passion once more. Since the little lady is pregnant (5 months now) there was no more pipe smoking inside the house. So yeah ... I haven't had a decent bowl since February this year. I am trying to look on the bright side .. the cellar ia getting better with each passing day of me not hitting on it, but the itch is there ..
