    The Mystery of the Iron Cage

    I have this trap and all the other ones. Trapping critters and filming them is some weird hobby I seem to have fallen into. So, the answer in this case is that if the critters can get the bait without going inside, they will. They'll also drag the trap off if they can. Also the cookie was...

    Abdulla

    Abdulla was a very important manufacturer of cigarettes. They advertised aggressively so there is plenty of material relating to their products on the Internet.

    Absolutely. Much of it, if I may, were misinterpretations and conversations he was having preemptively with himself. Oh look. An interesting completed eBay auction! This Suskind is a beauty and got away for a song. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176018508307

    Gladora

    Would you kindly provide a link to the source of this information? I would be interested in knowing which retailers in Europe will be getting which products.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Someone nabbed this little Ben Wade apple out from under me yesterday at just over my £210 bid. I wonder how high it would have gone had I cared to bid higher. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176011440362

    G. W. Sims

    I've spent the better part of the morning searching for any primary historical evidence of G.W..Sims business and come up completely empty handed. There was an old silver makers mark "GWS" that I'd created a false attribution with in my mind.

    Why is Magnum Opus Just Magnum Now?

    [HEADLINE] Opus Dei lawyers inform Arturo Fuente that they believe the Opus X name is an infringement upon their trademark. No... not frivolous in the least. 😒

    Yes, it was referred to, I believe, as the "aryanization" of businesses that were considered important or in the national interest. Very sad indeed.

    Did any one of you lot pick this nice little pipe up? https://www.ebay.com/itm/394967369651 Valitchka did his best to insinuate that this pipe had some relation to Peterson ("it seems to me there HAS to be a connection"). The "connection" is that the Peterson Patent was wildly successful and...

    If you were ever a surfer (I was not---my cousin was) it is similar in consistency to Dr. Zog's Sex Wax for surf boards. In fact the ingredients are likely partly identical. It is a soft putty consistency. For my part --?-- I would never buff a blasted pipe as it would stick lots of crud and...

    I almost remarked the same thing 😂 the dent must be hiding under that mitre he wears around Hereford. The dingbat has taken to reselling his damaged goods to the auction houses he's bought them from. Had to email them a warning. PS I'd keep my eyes on the post if I were you. ;)

    I used the wax referenced in this thread [HERE]. For blasts, I clean the deep crevices with water and a brush, and then apply this wax with my fingers, pushing it into the cracks. It has a soft consistency, like surf board wax. Then I melt it in with a heat gun, and polish off the excess with...

    It's a lovely pipe, though I'm finding I'm getting used to the bowling ball stem. It's creating the illusion to my eye that it's thoroughly oxidised despite having a nice shine on it now. 😌 I had a bit of a windfall last week with this lovely Barling '56 with "J.J. Fox" stamp. Cleaned up...
