Couple new pipes

[irish]

Picked up a couple of estates today . A nice Ben Wade sitter and not sure about the other one but it has a star on the stem and the England very small underneath. I like it though.

I sure to love that Ben Wade. Not sure what our other one is though???? Looks sweet.

Nice Ben Wade ! That really is one of the coolest freehands I've seen.

The other pipe is African Meerschaum.

I made a post here a bit ago but it seems as though it is gone, anyway mate, I like the first pipe. Very nice

Thanks guys. The Ben Wade has cleaned up beautiful. Very pretty grain as well as design. Thanks Lonestar on the info on the Meer. The lady I got them from is suppose to have another pipe she had put back for herself that was her Dads she going to let me buy but I haven't seen it yet, she says it is the nicest one he had, we will see.

Would have to be a very cool pipe to top these two, especially the Preben Holme Ben Wade.

I haven't forgotten I owe you some pics of a couple pipes, just been busy ! I'll try to snap a few photos in the morning.

I dont know if the Isle of Man is considered part of England, but that is where the Meerschaum factory was. Dont know if it was a single factory or a group of factories but almost all of the African Meerschaums were made there under a million different brand names but this pipe should be the same quality as the old Peterson, Barling and other Manx Meerschaum pipes.

I also really like that Ben Wade, the grain is beautiful.

Sweet pipes, my friend. Those older Ben Wades are really nice.
