    "Walnut Antique" Pipe

    Tuold......just received a similar pipe in the mail for restoration as well. I, too, tried to research a bit, and the only additional info I found was "made in France".......

    I have PAD.....Damn Ebay!

    As you may have seen in my previous posts, I picked up several estate pipes from Ebay (my Mom found a few too). I bought some buffing wheels and cleaned most all of them up for display. Two I turned into "users". My shelf is full, and a few reside in a dresser drawer. Yesterday I came across...

    Show Us Your Comoy's (Collectors Thread)

    Pretty typical of my pops.....he never (ever) has carried any debt, and everything he owns is in very good shape (no matter how old). I had planned to smoke this one, but once it arrived, I decided to leave it in the box and place it on a display shelf.

Stopped by our local tobacco shop this afternoon and asked if they had a bowl reamer....the guy looked at me like I had six heads, then paused and opened a drawer.....had a reamer set covered...

    Shined up a few this weekend.......6 pics

    8 hour soak in Oxi-Clean.....then a scrub with a paste made of Comet/water......then a buff with Tripoli......then a buff with White Diamond. Everything worked quite well, though the Voyageur stems still shows a very faint tan color in a few spots....another soak might be in order for that guy.

    Shined up a few this weekend.......6 pics

    @Mephistopheles....you guessed it my friend.....complete with working lid. Whoever owned it before me smoked the sh#% out of it (pun intended), cuz it's pretty nasty. I'd planned to display it, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest. As for the cob on the right that Dave mentioned, it's...

    Shined up a few this weekend.......6 pics

    So Dave gave me the bug to clean up a few old pipes I'd recently received. Now these are nothing at all like the restorations Dave performed, his work is awesome. I basically just deoxidized the stems and polished everything up a bit. Here's the pipe lot I received this past week....not a...

    Pipe Resto: Cure for winter boredom. PIC HEAVY

    Dave.....you gave me the bug! I have 4 oxidized stems soaking in oxi-clean right now! After 10 minutes, the water turned into a brown/green mess....my kids think it's "gross" :D

    Pipe Haul

    Ample is correct.....I did a little google image search, and the bowl on this pipe looks bigger then most of those I saw of the same brand. Just picked up some buffing wheels, so I guess we'll see what happens.

    Pipe Haul

    About the same time I received a few ebay boxes of estate pipes to fill a display cabinet, I happened to read Dave's post about restoring a few pipes this winter......I think I might have the restoration bug now. Most of the pipes I received were not great, and will work nicely for "décor"...
