    2 Restorations: Before/After (pics) 9/14/16

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. @ pylorns The outside edge of the rim was banged up so I gave it a slight topping, softened the edges and re-stained it. I have a few untouched original Sterncrest's and the rim edges weren't razor sharp.

    Cleaning an Estate Pipe

    ^^^ What Chasing said. You can quickly damage a pipe if the proper precautions are not followed. If these are valuable pipes I would recommend sending them out to a professional or buy a few beaters to practice on before attempting to do it yourself.

    2 Restorations: Before/After (pics) 9/14/16

    I finally found some time to fix up a couple oldies. This old Sterncrest had seen better days but this make always cleans up nicely. Full bent/silver band/push stem with a flock of birds. The pipe was so gunked up, the stem wouldn't even sit flush in the shank. After seven decades give or take...

    Help with Dunhill Dating?

    Savinelli 320 Is It A Magic Pipe?

    That's how I started and I bought 2 more Sav's. Here are some side by sides. Silver ring is a Sav. Gold ring is a Rossi. I modified the appearance of the Rossi to Burgundy and added the gold ring. It was all black when I got it. Rossi 8320 stock photo. That's pipe cleaner fuzz in the Sav...

    Savinelli 320 Is It A Magic Pipe?

    As far as I know, they are Sav's with Rossi stampings. I have an 8320 and it's identical. I'll shoot some side by side pics and post them soon. Btw, Keystone and Coors both suck equally. Drink Rolling Rock.

    Savinelli 320 Is It A Magic Pipe?

    I have 3 and they all smoke wonderfully. I'm not sure if they are magical but pretty close. Great draw, stays cool. If I had to file a complaint I'd say they are a tad bit heavy for clinching, but being a beastly lil burner is part of the charm. They're definitely hard to beat for the price...

    Dunhill WWII Service Lighter (pics)

    @ pipeguy I thought the same thing. Yes it's the original wadding. I like the patina. I don't plan on cleaning it up.

    Dunhill WWII Service Lighter (pics)

    I found this at an estate sale months ago. I thought it was a neat little piece of history. I finally got around to making it operational. I just added a flint, wick, and fluid.
