    Estate Purchase

    I have the booklet at home (I'm at work right now) but I'm going to posit that your pipe is from 1980 with that photo capturing an underlined 20. Do you see "HT" stamped anywhere on the pipe? This indicates "hand turned" as opposed to it being subjected to a fraize machine that's merely copied...

    Swan Neck Indulgence

    Gorgeous pipe! I take it, this will not be the last pipe you ever make, because, if so, the one you’ve made, would then be your……’swan song’ pipe!

    Antique Store Sightings in Almonte, Ontario

    I had about ten mins to snoop through the store while my wife was busy with errands. I saw the following items of passive interest. The first were a set of dolls from Germany. I know nothing about them, other than that the fellow is enjoying a fine pipe! Secondly, a couple of empty tins of...

    Yeah, I miss being able to see who was bidding on what. You were able to more easily find out if you were looking at (a) only a couple 'a nights on the couch, (b) a weeks' worth of silent treatment and staying at your in-law's, or (c) fluffing up your pillows at a buddy's place for an extended...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    I wonder if the fellow who owned those two pipes up above EVER considered that they would not only still be around, but that someone would be smoking and enjoying them 112 years later? I wonder which pipes of mine will stand the test of time?
