I have spent the last 10 years or so searching out strange and wonderful pipes. My favorite shape by far is the bulldog/Rhodesians. So, without further ado, here are a few samples of different parts of my collection.
This is the Comoy's family photo. Top to bottom. 499 Extraordinaire, 498 Royal, Tradition 440. Took me a while to get them with the 498 being one of the best pipe bargains I have had.
Some interesting British wood here. From top to bottom: GBD Fantasy something or another (nomenclature is pretty well gone), Barling's Make pre-transition, Loewe silver mounted. These are all pipes that I got pretty great deals on as well.
Some more Brits here. Top to bottom: St Regis (yes, I know it's an author...close enough for me), Haymarket, Nu-Old. All seconds (the Haymarket is perfect though).
Now the Kaywoodies. Top to bottom: Heritage - these were rumored to have been Kaywoodie's answer to Dunhill pipes, Pipe of the Year 2005, Christmas 2012 and an unsmoked 4-digit Super Grain.
Finally, the oddities. Top one is a Walt Disney World pipe that is made in London England and marked 409...yep, it's a Comoy's. Bottom one is just strange. It's a Wally Frank and I'll just leave it at that.
I may post more this summer when I have time to organize my collection but I've got more GBDs, some Canadian made bullies from Trypis, Blatter and I think I've got a Brigham somewhere. Yeah, I have a problem. Also coming this summer, my pre-ww2 collection.
Hope you all enjoy looking at these despite the crappy photography.
