Dunhill Score Plus

[drsam]

After several months with no computer access I am back to civilization.

I made A major score and need some advice. I picked up ten pipes at A local auction.

Three were broken and past redemption. the other seven were really filthy and badly in need of cleaning

I have two Dunhills shell sandblasts A Peterson Sherlock Holmes Rathbone A Tenderbox Verona 301

A Royal Coachman London sandblast and A Dan sandblast with A sterling silver band.
I do not feel qualified to clean up the two Dunhills. I need the name of A good pipe mechanic.

Hope the foto turns out.

Edit: Fixed the pictures, L.

I haven't sent anything out for professional cleaning so others would know best. Great score though!

I've heard that Schulte's is the place to go for Dunhill work. Good luck.

I recommend http://www.walkerbriarworks.com/html/mike_myers.html He did a nice job on a Dunhill I sent him.

An impressive purchase. I hope no one was bidding them up. Auctions are tricky, but

work well if you know your top price and it relates to the value of the items.

I've been witness to some of Floyd Norwoods work as I've got two pipes that came back from him after he cleaned them up. He does very nice work.

My new Upshall was prepped by Floyd Norwood and I was very impressed with his work. Nice score!

Congrats drsam - nice pickups. That Dunhill, once cleaned, should be a great pipe. And glad to know you're back online.

Just me with A bit of an add on.

Actually A local guy went to an estate auction near where I live and purchased ten pipes.

He brought them to me because I am about the only one in town that smokes A pipe.

Three of the pipes were cracked from top to bottom and useless.

I asked what he would take for the remainder and we settled on 130.00. After he had the money in hand he told me that he had gotten all seven for 20.00.
I think that we were both happy, happy, happy.
