After a day of Antiquing...

HAHA! And I'm all proud of my new 6-pipe walnut stand! Way to go man! :clap:

Well I guess I have today and tomorrow off, so I am going to go explore the antique shops in a couple of towns that I have never been to! I will report back if I find anything of interest!

Nice score Bubba! Wish I had some bigger ones like that 36 holer!

Nice finds Bubba!

Thanks guys! I only made it to one antique shop today and it turned up a bust, but I am back at it first thing tomorrow!

Bubba, no pics of the pretty women in the antique shops?

I found the same one as the bigger one in a local smoke shop here in Tn. Brand new they had it for $160. I'd say you won big time!

I've never bought a new pipe rack. My half-dozen or so (mentally counting) all came from flea markets or antique shops and a couple of them are very nice, seemingly one-of-a-kind. Sometimes, they even come with a used pipe or two standing in them. I got one of my favorite smoking pipes (a no-name author) like that. ::
And since they were so cheap, I had no qualms about taking a saw to some of them, cutting out the round holes to make an open slot, so the pipe stems will slip into them instead of having to "thread" them into the rack.
Come to think of it... with my newer pipe aquisitions, I'd better go flea hunting again. :D

Man I never even thought of Flea Markets!!!! Jimbo you have opened my eyes to another world!

My score at the antique store today. A hardcover copy of Haunted Bookshop. Displayed here with a pipe from clanobucklin and a bag of , what else? Haunted Bookshop.

All I ever find is junk! I have enough of that already!

Alright so here is my haul from this week...
First is a little Hardcastle pot that I bought for a grand total of $4.

Second is a Dr. Grabow Omega that I had to have even though it was $12.

Third is a nice little rack that the lady only wanted $5 for.

And last but not least was the catch of the week. This very very nice pipe is an Andreas Bauer Meerschaum pipe and I got it for $20.

Grand total was about $45 after taxes! It was a great week for certain!

 

[unclearthur]

NICE! I have several Hardcastles and they are great pipes. That little meer is sweet!

Thanks Uncle Arthur!
