    Repairing a Broken Pipe Case.

    This forum is the closest thing to any form of social media I use anymore. Glad to hear Max is back at it, maybe I can finally get a Max Capps LC now.

    AJL67 Blew Up My Mailbox

    Generosity on this forum knows no bounds. We have several incredibly kind people here and @AJL67 is definitely one of them. Looks like you got a right proper intro to VA, if you can’t find something in that pile that sparks your interest, well you’re probably a burley guy…😁

    Yeah, that’s a great pictorial. I’ve had that saved on my laptop for a while. They make it look so easy 😂

    Well @condorlover1 I found some suitable leather. Looks like I’ll be ordering a side of this.

    Italian-Made Cased Meer Mystery

    He lured me to his windowless van with promises of War Horse Bar and Condor Plug. 😭

    It does remind me of a certain other diamond shank bent billiard. 🤔

    It’s not bad looking with a stem on it either.

    Seeking Info on French Pipe Company

    So I found this company in the Kelly’s Guide that @runscott posted. REYMONDET GRUET FRERES They actually had a 1914 patent for some sort of mortise link, given the funky nature of the screw tenon on this pipe I think they might be a good candidate for the manufacturer.

    Ok, Im a dummy who's working on to many pipes at once. I've been trying to run down info based on the wrong stamp. I got it in my head it was C.F somehow. It is not, it's R.F so maybe Reybier Fères et Fils.

    Resto of a C.P.F. Chesterfield

    Be careful using straight ammonia. Ammonia fumes have been used to stain wood for close to a 150 years. So it can alter the color of wood. How much it will react with briar I'm not sure because it's proportional to the amount of tannin in the wood, and briar doesn't have a lot of tannins in it...

    Resto of a C.P.F. Chesterfield

    Yeah, it's not cheap. I originally bought it to restore fairly valuable antique waffle irons so the cost wasn't out of line with the value of the outcome. One can has lasted me a very long time and I've used it on several waffle irons and LOADS of pipes.

    Seeking Info on French Pipe Company

    If anyone has any Info on a company called Chavet Freres or possibly Chauvet Freres, I've come up empty handed. They used the stamp C.F and that's about all I know. I'm not even sure if they were a tobacconist or a manufacturer, or maybe both.

    Box Pass Extravaganza 2024 Signup

    My living situation changed unexpectedly and I found myself having to make a lot of unplanned renovations to an old house under the constraints of a time frame. The box pass has taken a back seat to that. Things are starting to slow down now so I'm hoping to get it back on track this week. PM...
