The Cherrywood Poker
I see an ebay seller named roadkillbob65 who makes cherry pokers out of both cherry wood and apple wood. He calls them "Ropp copies". The bidding starts at $10.00 for most of the pipes. I might try to see if I can get one for under $20.00. I like my estate Ropp pipe, so another like it couldn't...- tuold

My First Estate: Amphora Xtra
I also bought an estate Amhphora Xtra but in a poker shape, stamped 815. I got it because I liked the shape and thought it would a be good restoration project. The shank was cracked and it has about 11 ugly fills. I fixed the crack, sanded it down and refinished it with a dark stain so the fills...- tuold

Souvenier of a Failed Marketing Campaign
As I was sorting through searches for estate pipes on eBay, I saw a picture of an ashtray with a locomotive surrounded by the words, “Marlboro Unlimited”. I’m interested in trains and tobacciana so I delved further into the origins of this ashtray. It turns out that back in the mid 1990s Phillip...- tuold

Messed up first restore
The only caveat I'd add to the freezer method is that the cold does make vulcanite brittle. I've had stems shatter in my hands. Just watch your grip and how you apply torque.- tuold

Grabow Goodness
The old Doc Grabows are currently the most underrated pipes on eBay and yours looks great! They usually have nice grain, no flaws and the briar is aged to perfection. Has anybody ordered one of the new ajustomatics from the factory? I'd kind of like to see one before I shell out the bucks. I... -

Missing The Days of Yesterday
If we could just go back to the 1700s when they wrote really good music! As I find myself nearing the 60 year old mark I also find myself waxing nostalgic at times. I wish I could have sent my own kids outside to play for the day merely telling them to come back for dinner around five o'clock...- tuold

Purchase Duplicate Pipes?
Since most of my purchases are estate pipes I usually will only go for a duplicate if the new one is in better shape than the first. The two exceptions so far are my two Masterson Freehand pipes and my three Medico Jet Streams. Those were to aid in the rotation frequency as you said. When I...- tuold

Yello Bole Micro Pipe
I dug through my drawer of Yello Bole pipes and found a "Pug". It has a different logo on the stem and what I think is a more unique "short snorter" type of shape. So I don't know. I just went to twist the stem off and see if has a stinger and it broke off in my hands! Oh well...It needed some... -
Yello Bole Micro Pipe
I got this "Group 0" KB&B Yello Bole sometime back. Does anyone know why a pipe this small would even be made? Was it some sort of salesman sample? Doesn't look like it's ever been smoked but it has been chewed on a bit. -

Captain Bob's Blend: I am dissapointed...
I'm getting a mixed message here. You want everyone to have a shot getting the blend for good price but your realize by your actions it may be made unavailable? Hopefully you will be able to get things hashed out. I wouldn't worry about the tin art. I imagine most sales are by bulk anyway. I...- tuold
