    Clearing Snow in Front of House (Full Crew)

    Three large maintainers showed up to clear the road in front of my house. I took some pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet. The first had hydralics that allowed the plow to be a V or reverse V. He would build up speed and slam into the 4 foot of snow until the shear mass stopped him then...

    Kaywoodie Mystery (At Least To Me)

    From pipepages.com If the pipe has a 4-digit shape number, the pipe is probably of "pre-1936" vintage. If the pipe has a 4-digit shape number and does not have the threaded fitment, it is probably from before 1925. The logo on top is also from the older series pipes.

    Q about estate Meerschaum

    I'm not a meer expert by any stretch, but avoid using alcohol on your meer. One member here posted pictures of his meer that he cleaned with alcohol and it was a purple black color. I'm not predicting gloom, just saying be careful. Also the ghosting shouldn't be a long term problem. For some...

    Without a picture it is hard to say, but it sounds like it could be a meerschaum.
