I was rummaging around in the garage yesterday and found a few old "worthless" pipes I bought a few months ago. I looked at one in particular, a Red Dot Bulldog. Worthless as far as any collector value. Just a cheap pipe. Even the stamping is almost worn off. But it didn't have a single bit of chatter on the stem, stummel looked good so I figured why not. I polished and waxed the old dog up and now I think I may have a new go to work pipe. It's lightweight, clinches great, and feels great in the hand. So all this to say give those old beaters a second chance, even if it is a no name worthless pipe. You may end up with a trusty friend.
