Things I Found Thrifting

[EveningSmoke03]

I didn't find as much today at the antique stores, but got a few things. Found another pipe stand that had a tobacco pouch and a SO-JIFFY pipe reamer. Got it all on sale for $12.00. Also, found two unsmoked Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipes on sale for $5.00 each. View attachment 436485View attachment 436486View attachment 436487View attachment 436488

I have that exact pipe stand, bought it at an antique store earlier this year for about the same price too. Mine had an old pouch and one nearly smoked-out corncob pipe, but also had a Dunhill cigarette holder from the 1950s along with a half foil paper pouch of Edgeworth and another of Holiday Mixture (both 1960s era) that I'm saving for a special occasion.

FYI, the case might fit a Zippo insert.

The case is just a bit bigger than the inserts. If I hold it upside down it will fall out. Maybe a piece of tape at the bottom to fatten it up.

I picked up this Yello-Bole billiard for $6 at an antique mall yesterday on my way home. The stem is loose and has some chatter but hopefully I can restore it. Any tips are much appreciated. Ill probably pull the stinger.

An easy trick to tighten a loose stem. Swab a TINY amount of super glue inside the tenon hole in the shank. Tip: Don't try to put the stem in until it's completely dry.
