The infamous Kyle Black.......is back?, from Marty Pulvers "The Mill"
Ok, I'd be interested to hear from any lawyers on the forum if the above accusations constitute libel. Would the police department or newspapers publishing that mugshot be guilty of libel if that were true? After all, when that mugshot was taken the individual pictured had not been found guilty...- tuold

Cool pipes I got at antique shop ever seen it?
Not meaning to resurrect a month old thread, but I just found this post while looking up an orphan pipe in my "restore bucket" and want to add this picture to the knowledge base. Thanks to all for the information. I believe these were repair bands sold to pipe shops.- tuold

Anyone Going on a Cruise over Thanksgiving?
Whenever you get thousands of people crammed together there is the risk of a norovirus breakout. One recently made headlines: 172 Passengers Fall Ill I've been on a couple of cruises. My favorite was a small ship cruise of ten days around southeast Alaska. There were fewer than forty passengers...- tuold

Here I go again , Help please
mikestanley, I use Photobucket just because I have their app on my phone that automatically uploads my pictures to the site. The only problem I've had with Photobucket is an ad that will annoy you when access your albums. Since I have adblock on my browser that really isn't much of a problem. I...- tuold

Why Wouldn't Anyone Pay $11.70 For This Pipe?
Digging deep into ebay is one of my favorite ways to pass some time and it sometimes pays off wonderfully as did your experiance. Why some pieces of junk get bid into the stratosphere while jewels like that are ignored is just one of those mysteries. Ebay is like a giant slot machine. Sometimes... -
A Pleasant Surprise
That's the way it should be done. Here's the way it shouldn't. When I was at a museum last summer in Sante Fe, NM I stopped at the entrance to buy a ticket. The young lady asked if I was a vet because they give discounts to vets. I said I was. She then asked me for my discharge papers to prove...- tuold

Funny Names
We used to get overhead pages for "Dr. Harry Dick" in the hospital before they started limiting pages to emergencies. The operator pleaded with Dr Dick to let her at least say, "Dr Harold Dick" but he insisted on the former. It's not even really that funny of name except when you are trying to...- tuold

REAL Books, or Kindle, etc
There was a point in my life when I was collecting books. As others have said, they are nice to hold in your hand, the feel, history, the smell are part of the reading experiance. But now I'm at the age when I am divesting myself of worldly possessions (except pipes of course) little by little...- tuold

What is this pipe
Very interesting! Are there any marks or stampings anywhere on it? I wonder if that stem is filled with baffles in order to lengthen the distance the smoke travels from bowl to button? As xrundog remarked, the pipe looks brand new. An amazing find.- tuold

LHS Sterncrest 14K Cleanup
This was my last ebay estate refurb project for this weekend. The seller noted a crack on the top of the bowl which probably scared away any bidders. It was superficial and easily filled. I figured the gold band alone was worth at least my five buck bid. The most surprising thing was seeing... -
Quickie Yello-Bole Refurb
I did just a bit more touchup on the rim. I'm definitely leaving it as is for now. As for new high grade pipes, well, I don't have anything in that category yet. The "Baer Bowl" pipe I posted about awhile ago is the closest thing in my collection to an artisan pipe and so far it is the best...- tuold

Orely, I saw your post here: Poor Cobbled Up Yello-Bole Yep, it sure seems you saved that one from oblivion! There's a good sense of satisfaction knowing you made useful and attractive an old piece of pipe history that otherwise would have been lost. I've been in touch with the seller of my...- tuold

Quickie Yello-Bole Refurb
I appreciate all the advice. Fortunately time is on my side. I can enjoy the pipe now while I consider more invasive and irreversible measures. There is no shortage of less worthy subjects to hack on here, and I do want to learn the craft of restoration.- tuold

Quickie Yello-Bole Refurb
I decided to pick up this old Yello-Bole when I saw the KB&B clover leaf and "Honey Cured Briar" stamped on the shank. From what I've read it may have been made in the 1930's. Also stamped on the same side is "Two Way Bit". I have no idea what that means as the bit looks pretty standard to me...- tuold

new Peterson...gurgle
I have a Peterson Christmas pipe myself, though a different shape. It performs flawlessly. In fact, moments ago I ordered my third Peterson, an Oom Paul. I'll post if it gurgles. I'm betting it will not. :D Maybe try a slower, cooler cadence?- tuold
