Jandrew PIpe
NO photo yet, but I picked up a well used plateau briar freehand at an auction signed Jandrew 84. All I know is that it was made by J. Andrew Kovacs, and that he had a big role in the influencing other carvers in Arizona, but haven't been able to find out much more than that. Anyone have any... -
Looking for info on a couple pipes
I'm looking for some more information on a couple estate pipes I have. I've been trying to find a KBB yello-bole bent billiard for a while and finally found one, but it's not like any others I've seen. It's says "filter brush' on it, and looks like it takes a medico filter. Anyone know when this... -
John Bessai pipes - anyone have more info than pipedia?
I just picked up a big old canadian made by John Bessai from Cleveland. I did the research on Pipedia, so I know it's a fairly old handmade pipe, as John Bessai died in '69. I was curious if anyone had any experience with them. According to Pipedia they're kind of a big deal in the midwest. I... -
My new antique "wood" meerschaum-before and after (pic heavy)
While browsing around ebay one day I came across a listing for an old wood pipe for $4.99. The pictures were terrible, but I decided to take a gamble on it, because I was pretty darn sure it wasn't wood, and that it was very old. What I got was in fact a well-used and colored antique meerschaum... -
The revenge of the PAD
I've been cleaning out the stable lately and selling off some of the pipes I've collected and restored in the last year. Last summer I picked up an old ratty pipe at an antiques store, just because I had the urge to buy a pipe. It wasn't really a style I cared for, but it looked like it had... -

What should I do with this thing??
Ok, as you can see below I have one of those vaguely creepy double headed pipes. I picked the stem up in a bag full of stuff at an estates sale and found the bowl a couple months later at a local antiques store. I only bought it because I had not ral use for the stem and felt bad that the people... -
Jobey Dansk replacement stem
I'm trying to find a replacement stem for a Jobey Dansk freehand. I picked one up at an antique store but it had a busted stem. As you can see from the photos, I was able to find a stem that worked, but does nothing for the aesthetics of the pipe. I don't want to blindly buy stems off ebay in...- deyro

Soren question
I'm looking for a little information on Soren pipes. I did a little research and understand that they were made by Soren Refbjerg and that he stopped making them under that name some years ago, but other than that I can't find a whole lot on them. I ask because I just picked one up at an... -
What the heck... a few meers
Since I'm on a roll with posts and pictures and what not, here are a few of my Meerschaums that are near and dear to me. This was my first real pipe. (I don't count the chinese plastic disaster I had for a couple weeks) I picked this up from one of the shops the Turks ran on Camp Victory, Iraq... -

Does anyone have any information on who manufactured CPH pipes? NOT CPF. CPH. I have two antique Meerschaums with manufacturers 'warranted meerschaum' seals in the cases with CPH in them. I've done as much research as I can online and haven't been able to come up with anything. -
Over-turned screw-in stems
I have a couple old pipes that have stems with stingers that screw in so that the bit sits at an angle. Does anyone have any info on how to correct that? They're old drugstore pipes that I picked up in box full of random pipes at an antique fair, but I'd like to get them restored one day.- deyro
