My youngest son,14, got a day job today at first monday trade days, our little local flea market, not sure how much he made but he came home broke with all kinds of "stuff", lol, but part of it was for me!...guessing mom helped buy it since like i said hes 14 but here they are
rack & four pipes ran him $15 
the bulldog is leather covered stamped longchamp with france under then theres a briarmeer two white dots on bit then a cornwell billiard stamped made in london england last is another billiard stamped D/D on the bit & on the stem says duke of dundee with air conditioned under that 
they need ALOT of work, but he promised to help with them so it should be fun...first time posting pics so i hope this works

I like the bulldog and the meer lined
As long as I got a pipe full of baccy and a nose full of snuff, I'm a happy camper

Some of my fondest memories of my dad are watching him smoke his pipes.
Looks like you guys are building some good memories.

ok, the bulldog is made by longchamp leather company, they got out of the pipe buisiness in '78, there are no more model numbers so i havent been able to date any better than that. the cornwell is a subgrade of gbd, so it should be a good pipe. the duke of dundee was a pretty common pipe 20-30 yrs ago, as far as I can tell this one was made in the early '40s. I cant find anything at all about the "briarmeer" but I've been wanting a meer lined pipe for a bit so its cool. I'm hoping these all clean up well.

@nsfisher, we've got a 10a.m. tee time at his fav course, breakfast in the clubhouse, & for sure a pipe in the cart
@phillip, my usual smoking spot is in the porch swing with my wife next to me & at least one of my kids outside, if its him hes got a golf club practice swinging & asking questions about something

One of those finished pipes looks like it took a bullet for a buddy of his!
Very nice refurbs.

@ Spartan, that the D/D & its call air conditioned, i havent really had a chance to look into it too much but i believe it was made in '41 & that "bullet hole" must create a draw from opposite side of the bowl...I dunno, I'm bout to light a bowl of 1q in it I'll letcha know shortly bout the smoke.

The bulldog & briarmeer are still waiting, but I wonder, should I take all of the cake out of there bowls or just leave a little?

The duke smoked so well I put some pa in the cornwall & tried it out...it was equally as good a smoke.

Ok he finished the bulldog today, wasn't able to be at school so he worked on it.
it's got a heck of a stinger too!!
Posted 3 months ago # -
Yeah those Longchamp stingers are crazy. They unscrew, though, so you can take them out. My billiard still has the original leather, but my bulldog's leather was too far gone for me to save. jasongone did a nice rustication on it and the briar underneath was very good. I love my Longchamps!
