I've not picked up a used pipe in quite some time to do a restore. PAD hit me the other day and I knew it was time. I found a Pioneer African Block Meer off fleabay, a K&P Peterson, and a unknown Reject made in London England 801 pipe from two different sellers at the local Antique store. I paid a little more for these than I usually do (kept for the reject), as the meer one had the original package. I told the lady at the store how much the pete would go for (she had quite a few pipes and wanted to know what they should be marked as) then decided to go ahead and buy it myself, wish I bought it before telling her but oh well. Its my second Pete in my collection.
Here they are before cleaning and restoring. The tenon on the meer needs to be twisted around, and I can't find out anything on the 801 model.
