Another Great Antique Store Find!

Congratulations on the additions to your collection. I hope the cleanup and restoration goes well.
An excellent find.

Wow! Great find! Most of my pipes so far have come from antique shops and sales. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything so spectacular. Congrats and enjoy! ::

Great finds! Some excellent grain on some of those! Congrats!

The pipe at the bottom left is sweet. I really need to get myself down to places with pipes for sale.
Peace out

Everything I've found in antique shops have been used and abused.
Amazing find!!! Those look like great pipes.

Wow! That's a great haul. Clean em up good and they should serve you well.

Did you buy them as a lot, or did you buy them as individually priced? Did you get any discount for buying them

as a group? Do you think the dealer was pipe saavy, or was he/she just trying to turn them over for quick cash?

This is a really clean, well-made group. Nothing looks chewed up or coming apart, and they appear to be quite

clean. If you made a good deal for these, it was a haul. They look like they'll clean up like new.

If only we could all be so lucky. Sweet haul.

Awesome finds, either the local Antique store in my town only finds cheep destroyed pipes. Or everyone beats me to the nice ones, all i found were some grabows (nothing against them my first and a few of mine are grabows), and medico. I found a older kaywoodie that I liked so I bought it.
Good luck and keep us posted on the cleanups, they look great already!

Nice haul Dixie! I guess I'll have to start frequenting my local antique stores now! . Enjoy!!

Wow. Nicely done.

Great is the word.

Thats a fine collection no matter the price, but you would still have done well for twice what you paid.

I think the Wild Honey pipe might be my favorite of the bunch, and I've never heard of the brand.

Dix:
I haunt antique stores and flea markets like a fiend in my business travels. I've made some killer finds and my pipe racks have certainly benefited from the extra company I've introduced. But this is, hands down, one of the best hauls I've ever read about.
Four Sav autographs and two Ben Wades plus one ugly ass Edwards and two others? Good God, what a score!
As to your paneled pipe, I used to pass by the heavily caked burners until I had an epiphanic moment one evening. Why are those pipes thick with the remains of who knows how many bowls of tobacco? What a dumbass! They smoked well - pure and simple. Anymore, I double-check those old soldiers to make sure the structural integrity is sound and still within the limits of my restorative capabilities. At that point, game on.
You can easily sell one or two of these burners and completely underwrite your outlay of cash. I'll also bet that fugly Edwards might end up being one of your best smokers. During the French Algerian Civil War - mid 50's to early 60's - Diebel's in Kansas City and Edward's made a run on vintage Algerian briar stockpiles and damned near cornered the market. I have pipes from both companies and they are extraordinary smokers. I certainly hope yours came from this time period.
Dix, for us estate smokers, you've made one of those lifetime scores. Embrace the moment, kiddo. You done real, real good.

Hi Dixie,
That is a terrific find! Congrats! I never find anything nearly as nice when I happen to troll around antique stores.

You have some real beauties there mate. Great score
