Would like to date my pipes.

imashrimp82 · Mar 31, 2012

Hello everyone. I just bought a lot of estate pipes. I know or found the brands, models, features, etc of most of the pipes. I have been trying to research the manufacturing dates, but for most of them, this information seems to elude me.
I have found the site www.pipephil.eu helpful in some cases, but not all. Is there any other resources out there that might have this information?
Thanks!

Well first thing to do when courting a pipe is a good place to dine.

Off-topic, but what the hell........

My last real date was 43 years ago. Dating my pipes is not much fun; they just lie there immobile, letting me do whatever I want.

When you consider that taking a date to dinner will cost $30-$50 for just the entree, dating a pipe is a way better deal at $8 per 2 oz.

The pipe doesn't speak, it gives pleasure and a bowl lasts a heck of a lot longer than....you know.

"a bowl lasts a heck of a lot longer than....you know."

------------------------------------------

If "....you know" lasts longer than 4 hours, you need to call your doctor. I imagine he congratulates you.

@imashrimp82 - I recently bought an LJ Peretti ...

It's one of my favorites.
But anyhow I wanted to find out it's origin, so I looked up LJ Peretti's website, used their contact e-mail to send a picture and asked who mostly likely made it, and when.
I got an e-mail back a day later saying it was made by Robert Peretti circa 1970
So I figure, so long as you have pictures and know the maker, you should be able to do this and find out the info.
happy investigating ... :puffpipe:
