Thanks a lot guys - it is much appreciated. I've been wanting to photograph them altogether, finally got around to it.
Those pipes actually represent my preferred shape - I am boring that way.
Thanks sallow and thanks for sharing the pic - a very nice WDC. Since I was adding dates, I guessed on that one - I need to do more research to see if I can nail it down.
Six, what a nice piece of American History. The Classy altime Billard. When you think of pipes you gotta think Billard. You done a fine job , be proud of your little piece of history I know I am for you. Damn fine job.

Boring?
Like hell.
I'm on board with everybody else. You can't beat the billiard for classic style.
I'd round out your collection with three more brands: Ehrlich, Weber and Kaywoodie. You can bag those off the Bay for a song - less than a Jackson per burner - and you're damned well going to get some vintage briar that should smoke very well.
What an excellent share.

WHAT, no bent pipes???? LOL
I love the classic shape as well, Thanks for sharing with us. A Kaywoodie and a Yello Bole would finish off a nice 7 day set!!! Just a thought.

Thanks a lot guys - it is much appreciated! I thought this collection was pretty modest, hope to be able to increase it.
But they taught me that older Kaywoodies make excellent pipes.
I actually had 2 nice Kaywoodies but sold them here. One I sold was due to the shape (it was a billiard, but not the exact shape of a billiard I prefer - I am picky that way!) The other was just a wee bit small for my liking.

Don't forget a Bertram. I've got a 105 Billiard that's one of the next up in the restoration queue and this makes me want to get to it soon.
Very nice Six. I remember your earlier posts on Kaywoodies and was wondering why one didn't show up in this collection but you answered the question above. I've been on the lookout for the right Kaywoodie ever since.
I have one little bent billiard, Group 1-ish, Medico from the 50s that I refinished and she's my favourite for a quick smoke.
