    Questions for Leonardw

    The '<250lbs of HH ODF sold in Germany' is a pretty sobering figure and is helping me clear out some cognitive dissonance.

    The Dupont Knock-off

    I got a DuPont Memorial Lighter, not even a Dunant... fake serial and everything. Works great. Works better with corona flints... got a pack of wheels coming in like you mentioned. Pings perfect!!

    Questions for Leonardw

    Questions for Leonardw

    Thanks for sharing @leonardw . That 507C thing is gonna blow some minds. Wonder what other info like that would help the pipe community understand how much we think is sacred is actually way more complicated than we think.
