Ted's Smoke Shop
So I just received a group of pipes, and on one, the only markings are Ted's Smoke Shop, and below that is Downey. Has anyone ever come across one of these, or know anything about it? -

A Gothic Medico Pipe Restored.
Very nice. It always amazes me that some pipes look like they need to go into the fire pit, but once you knock the layer of crud off, and give it a little TLC, they pop back to life.- john019

Ebay Help
I don't know how much time you spend looking on eBay, but there is a seller (Deadman's Pipes), and when you see one of his listings, you know it is his by the pictures. Okay, so one day I see a set of pipes done in his picture style as a Buy It Now. Normally his lots are auctions, but I...- john019

Buying Pipes on Auction for Immediate Resale?
I've bought Savinellis for $5 a pipe, and the only thing I've had to do was give them a light cleaning. Scored a couple of Dunhills in different lots for around $15. I try to go after lots, and try not to pay more then $10 a pipe. There has been a few times where I've gone as high as $30, but... -

Does Anyone Have Any Info About Joseph Phillips Pipes?
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I came across this pipe in a lot I purchased off the internet. At first I thought it was a Custombilt, then saw the Joseph Phillips stamp. I tried looking up the maker, but found nothing. I know there are ALOT of pipes that have that "wormy"... -

Joseph Phillips Pipe - Before and After (Picture HEAVY)
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Here is a Joseph Phillips estate pipe that I got in and gave a little bit of TLC to. Mainly the stem got cleaned both inside and out. The layer of carbon around had to be removed, and then the rim got a mild sanding. The rest of the body also...- john019

A Sasieni Seconds
Wonder if it was by Sisieni made for a specific tobacco shop, and that's why there's no info on it. -

It's a Sasieni seconds, but any idea on which sub-brand??? I've looked everywhere that I could find on the web. TO me the first letter looks like a "P" (my wife said maybe a "T", but the last 3 letters look like "ace". Any ideas??? -
