    Major score today in an antique store where I have often had luck. A Peterson Sport #4 with a P-lip for the sum of.....$10.00.

    Little work on the buffing wheel, little bees wax, looks brand new. Very happy with this pipe great for work when you need a quick smoke!

    Score.. but yes.. this thread is useless without pictures

    "The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

    So jealous! I have found some decent pipes at antique stores, but nothing like that.

    I have purchased several GBDs, Savinellis, Ben Wades, and a Wiley from this guy, and the most I paid was $40.00 for the Wiley. The rest were all less than $20.00. Most of the GBDs were prehistorics that cost around$20.00 when brand new in the 60's.... Pretty neat. I love that vintage of english briar.

    Good eye!
    I meant to ask, on your screen name, are you a history buff or cigar fan?

    Henry Clay is the name of the Masonic Lodge that I am a past master. He is well known in my town for traveling through here on his way to and from Washington. I live in Virginia on the historic Wilderness Road, the only wagon trail to Kentucky from the east.

    Well, that is a good screen name for you! I used to really enjoy Henry Clay cigars, which are somewhat hard to find now (awful looking, but smoke wonderfully at what used to be decent prices)

    As long as I got a pipe full of baccy and a nose full of snuff, I'm a happy camper

    Makes me wonder if any of the shops on Antique Row here in Victoria might be hiding estate pipes. Considering my office is on the same street, I have no excuse not to go looking.

    Congrats on the find!

    Simon, when you're next on the mainland check out the antique shops in Fort Langley; I often find good estate pipes for decent prices. If you get out into the valley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack have also proved to be boons for me (I'm paying for MY share of the Golden Ears Bridge! =P). I suspect that Steveston might harbour a few diamonds, too...I just can't seem to find an excuse to head that way.
    I've learned to avoid the New West shops (Front St.), they are often way overpriced and very picked over.

    Hmm, I think I just planned my weekend...

    Thanks for the compliments! I suggest antique stores all the time to new smokers. Top notch briar for a very small price. Especially for you Dr. Grabow fans.
