@Bassman65 as you are now the resident IMCO lighter expert, I'd appreciate your knowledge. I spotted an IMCO 6700, with 5 stars, listed as: NEW IMCO 6700 TRIPLEX SUPER PETROL LIGHTER VINTAGE TRENCH LIGHTER 6800 5-stars. Is this a newer version of the 6700? Appreciate your thoughts.- Honkytonk Man

200 Smokes in the Owl
@Chasing Embers I love your Owl Pipe. He's a great looking dude. And coloring up very nicely. Nice idea you had about keeping a tally on how many smokes you've had with Mr. Owl.- Honkytonk Man

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
@greeneyes Yes it is the pair of GBD's. I don't know, perhaps it might've been better to have left the damaged one "as is", without the Cu ring. The point being that it'll never get smoked (I seriously doubt it would be), so the ring serves no purpose in that case. Conversely, for the...- Honkytonk Man

This appears to be his preferred method of repair. The "old copper tubing" method.- Honkytonk Man

Neither had I for that matter. But using the Zippo flint in my IM Corona v using a Dunhill flint in my Dunhill Unique is chalk & cheese. I have developed calluses on my thumb from striking the IM Corona... Whereby the Dunhill Unique is so very smooth. I should also point out that the thumb wheel...- Honkytonk Man

@Bassman65 Funny you mention using Zippo flints. I've been using them in my IM Corona old-boy and have noticed that the striking wheel has become increasingly more difficult to rotate, I figured that it maybe because of the harder Zippo flints.- Honkytonk Man

I believe the one I just bought is an Austrian made lighter. Gasoline fueled. The guy selling them has a batch of NOS ones.- Honkytonk Man

Just bought this one. Would appear to be the same as Bassman's. I think they were promotional lighters for Chesterfield cigarettes.- Honkytonk Man

Dunhill Root Briar 1952
I suspect that it is probably a little higher quality that what you would buy new today for about eight hundred bucks. I'm not forgiving about Dunhill's pricing. The evils of marketing. I totally agree with you. Although I would say that the earlier Dunhill's were of far superior quality...- Honkytonk Man
