Here are two I scored from Ebay recently.

First, a nice Aldo Velani

Next is a GBD that I really like. This one was very gunked up, especially the stem. It took me 3 evenings of soaking it and working little by litte to be able to get a pipe cleaner through it. It was well worth it though because it smokes great and is a wonderful hunk of briar.

I'm a little jealous of that GBD! If you ever want to sell just remember you got a buyer here :p

@Al, it is indeed a 9438. It is also marked "Cambridge" and on the bottom of the shank it is marked "A".

Neat, the 9438 is a favorite of mine. I have one in "Tapestry" finish, goofing around the fire pit last night:

The "Cambridge" throws me off - that is not a GBD line or finish. I wonder if the shop it came from had it stamped. Can you do a close up of the nomenclature? I love digging into the history of these old GBD's.

Al, I like the shape as well, just feels real solid in your hand.

I only recently started getting GBDs but have 3 so far, find that I really like them. Great smokers.

I'll try and get some close ups in the next day or two.
