    Help: Comoy's "Specimen" 77008 Magnum (Huge!) Sitter

    I did a moderate dive into Horry Jameson (no "i") a number of years ago and here's a quick précis drawn from a slightly edited email I shared with a friend in 2015: Horace Jameson was born on July 2, 1906 in London (the parish of Homerton St Paul in Hackney, to be specific) to William John...

    Help: Comoy's "Specimen" 77008 Magnum (Huge!) Sitter

    From what I can tell Derek Green was exactly right. I first find it in the 1939 Tobacco World Fancy Goods Brand directory.

    Another Swan Neck Adventure

    Max M. Schulte (1911-2001) started the NJ shop in the 1950s; before that he owned several small businesses including a stationers and a liquor store. Max appears to be the first member of his family in the pipe & tobacco trade. His father Abraham was a carpenter; oldest brother Henry owned a...

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    Glamping is nothing new; it's been all the rage for almost twenty years. And by the way you might want to rethink the casual use of the phrase "pitch a tent".

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    I think I know the reason. My guess is the subject of the play was the famous slow smoke held to celebrate the successful Maccabean Revolt. The winner kept his pipe lit for eight days.

    Appalling. I’m sure the editors of your local paper felt quite virtuous about what they accomplished. There is no limit to the damage the sanctimonious can/will do.

    Sometimes they’re the same thing. I know a few.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Boxes I can sometimes dig up, cases and sleeves generally not. What era are you looking for? Have you reviewed the fairly complete runs of catalogs floating around? That might be a decent chronological source.

    I think she resisted arrest and died during the shootout. They’d never have caught her if her crimes hadn’t had a pattern.

    This is always a great idea. Many States mandate that Experian, Transunion, and Equifax have to offer this service for free. While a credit freeze doesn’t prevent identity theft it does significantly limit the damage that can be done since all new credit issuance (eg new credit cards...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    I got one but will opt for the atrium next year. Very oddly the renovated tower rooms have no bureaus, nightstands, closets or desks. They only have a mini shoe drawer under a clothes rod. It’s almost as if the designer had no understanding of what transient guests commonly need. Supposedly...
