    Going to spend a little more time on the Grabow Today. A little late but kind of a before picture of the stem. I had spent time with the magic eraser already before I remembered to take these. We will see what the Flitz does for it today. Will update.. I'm hoping to have a bowl in this one...

    I'm enjoying one of my favorites, Maltese Falcon in the Blakemar. In the warmth of my farm truck and having a Budweiser. Been trying to figure out the age of the Grabow on the sights mentioned earlier in this thread. I'm thinking early 60's but not sure..still searching! The Blakemar is smoking...

    If I could, I would edit that to say Pipepedia as I originally typed. Auto correct feels like pipes need a child's Dr I suppose. Lol

    Restoring the Stem

    I have very recently began to explore this subject OP. I have been using magic eraser, Flitz polish and wax, all ideas learned about from this forum. Working well enough for me so far. I think some are using toothpaste and some are using oxiclean or bleach baths. I have not tried those as I...

    To Band Or Not To Band

    I think I would consider a black band. Maybe that would shore it up and keep it looking similar to original if the band blends with the stem.

    I'm having my first bowl in the bent. I chose CD Opening Night. It's cold, rainy and drab out here today but I had a nice late breakfast and am staying warm with my Comfort Zone heater. I'm planning to try out the Blakemar later this afternoon. Not sure what I will pack it with just yet. I...

    Thank You much! I will check out that sight. Ha ha, I have been thinking about looking in antique shops for future projects. I am really having fun and it's been great practice for being patient...for me anyway. I don't have a Kaywoodie yet but those stems are interesting to me. I was thinking...

    I have enjoyed trying to learn about this other one. It is apparently made in England by a smaller maker that has been around for a long time. I still don't have much info on this very pipe really. I do see a "Sherwood.. Select Briar" on one side and a number on the bottom of the mortise..232...

    I could be a picky soul but am of mind to move ahead with two of the three. I can't wait to share a bowl with my new friends after all. This one I don't know much about other than it has England stamped pretty clearly and what looks like " Made London" very faint above the England stamp. It has...

    673 vs 80s Pete

    Agree. I have decided that no matter if the drilling is off or the bowl treatment is a bother I am going to keep and use this pipe. It seems to smoke alright and I love the look. It's also comfortable to me.

    673 vs 80s Pete

    Okay, yeah I burnt the rim. There, now thats out there, here you go. Does that drilling look off center to you? I have been doing the hot water flush with this pipe by the way. I think I have almost conquered the gunk.

    Back At A Slower Pace

    Doctors are focused on Covid as if nothing else exist seems like. I had a recent illness and it was immediate they tested for Covid, reasonable..but didn't even try to help me figure out what was causing my symptoms! ( After negative Covid test) I hope you continue to improve Sir.
