EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title - Bob

Hey everyone, fairly new to the pipe scene. I have about 11 pipes i know little about, just that some smoke good and some dont. Im going to add pictures and descriptions, but i would love some help finding out more about these!

This one is my favorite. It is a Weber Shellbrooke 270? I cant find anything about this model, but I learned about the maker

You have certainly come to the right place. There are some extremely knowledgeable people here who are happy to help.

Kaywoodie SuperGrain 5111 looks like early 40s maybe? Cant get the stem out of the shank, i think it has a stinger, but I cant get it to budge. Seems unsmokable due to cracks. And a ridiculous amount of cake

There are many on here, myself included, that live vicariously through other peoples estate finds. Yes we would love to see more pictures!

Looks like some interesting rustication on this one, like a pine cone almost.

Now that is a crack! I've seen everything repaired on this forum. There are truly some magicians here. I don't know if it is the lighting or what, but that is a nice coloured stain.

That looks like a pipe someone really loved smoking. Is that glue between the shank and stem? Or perhaps something like paper stuck in there to make it tight? Whatever it is may help explain why you can't budge stem.

It looks like a spacer of some kind. I have another old pipe that had fragments of something similar in it. When I toot the stem out the stuff kinda disintegrated, and now the stem wont screw in aligned to the bowl

As much fun as that looks, i don't have the time or resources to tackle amything like that. Or the knowhow to be frank

More pictures to come later! Stay tuned

The Weber looks like it has some life left. The interesting pattern carving is real old style still seen in some American factory pipes and in others like La Rocca. The Kaywoodie looks shot, to me, but I guess you can revive anything. I have a Kaywoodie Drinkless Ruff-Tone in roughly an author shape that is a good smoker either despite or because of its stinger that is also the thread that holds the stem on the shank.

Possibly an early pipe from Vuillard & Strauss? Maybe someone here will know.

I see a BC stamped on the stem. That would be Butz-Choquin , a well known firm from France. Solid pipes. Go check it out on Pipedia.

Pipedia.com and Pipephil.eu are excellent sources for pipe information.

I found out through a local that it is a butz-choquin 1025. Very excited to learn this, its now the most "high end" pipe I own. Can't wait to clean it up and try it out.

Thanks! I took it in to a local shop and he told me the same thing. Very excited about this one. Will post more pictures when I get off work tonight. I have what I think is a pre WW2 tobacco "jar" that I want to show you guys.

Even after you spent many many hours on repairing it, you wouldn't have a fine smoker looks wise, and actual smoking might be impaired as well.
Please keep the photos coming!

Sorry its been so long since my last post. This is an old tobacco jar I got with the group of pipes. Looks handmade? No clue about anything about it

 

[jpmcwjr]

Ceramic? Wood? Lid? No markings of any kind?
