I decided to take a break from playing with tampers and work on some pipes for my Skyliner display. Finished this one up yesterday. This one just needed a little shining up. I need to find three more Commodores to fill the card on the diplay--holds six.Problem is that Commodores are rather hard to find.

You're right.....there aint many Commodores that turn up for sale. You got a nice one and good luck filling your card.

One of my last DG's is a bent Commodore with a chrome band. If you need/want it give me a shout :D

Wow, that is a sharp looking Commodore, you sure don't see many of them. Will you smoke that one?

Probably not Al. I have plenty of pipes to smoke,no need to smoke the pretty ones! They mostly collect dust! Besides,I prefer filter pipes.
Thanks Scott & cajunguy!

docrx,I can't find a 38 on any of my shape charts. Sounds like what you have is a 36-Large Billiard.
