Hello all. I've sort of been lurking and kicking around, but recently signed up here. I figured I'd post my latest burst of PAD for you.
The Dunhill came from a member of another forum. 1964 Bruyere Group 1 Shape 32. Zippo for size perspective.

The 'bash is an Ebay rescue. I'm not sure, but I think the bowl is pressed meer (the crack looks superficial). Any input there is appreciated. Walker Briar Works made a new stem and cleaned it up for me. I made the stand for it from a piece of a leather strop (for a straight razor) that was creased and no longer good for stropping.

And finally, a new Tinsky, which is just a beauty. In person it's even better than in the photos (Mark's pics, not mine). A question: what would you call this shape?

Wow, awesome scores. That Dunhill is sleek and oh so sexy. I think the Tinsky would be designated as a bent apple, but I could be wrong. Again, beautiful pipes, congratulations!

Thanks guys :D
I keep pulling out the Tinsky here at work and looking at it like a kid with a new toy. I'm gonna have to figure out what blend to use for the baptism by fire this evening!

I like all three but the Tinsky really catches my eye. I like the grain and the shape.

That's my second Tinsky, but not my last. It smokes just as well as its big brother, acquired in the spring. You can't go wrong with one of Mark's pipes, imo.
