    New Will Purdy Prince-Hawk

    THANKS! I really dig how it looks. I haven’t seen a huge sample, but a lot of Will’s pipes look a bit too wild for my tastes. This one strikes a balance with a new take on the Prince shape.

    New Will Purdy Prince-Hawk

    Hello everyone. I managed to cross one off the bucket list at the Chicago Show last weekend when I stumbled across a gentlemen named Craig at the Swap Tent on Friday who had a few unsmoked Will Purdy Pipes. This one immediately called to me, and the price was right, so there you have it. The...

    Possible Old Ben Wade Leeds Second “C. Smith”

    Hello Gentlemen As the premier go-to forum for all things Ye Olde and Britwood, I submit this for your consideration. It is an old prince that came to me in a lot years ago. The stamped markings are C Smith LEEDS in a script that very much looks like the old Ben Wade Leeds script Stamps. I...

    Finally Collected a 7-Day Set of Loewe Pipes

    YES! I met Mike at the Chicago show before and we gushed over Loewe pipes for a while. His site was by FAR the best info on them, some of which was better than the gathered material in the Loewe Packet. The only thing I really dig that are more rare are the Leed’s Ben Wades. I have ONE...

    Finally Collected a 7-Day Set of Loewe Pipes

    I’ve been collecting Loewe pipes for a decade now. Any of you who are on the hunt with me know how hard they can be to find, especially the pre-1954 Haymarket era examples. I’ve let a couple of them go here and there, so this is the first time that I’ve had 7 at once. From the Top: -a...

    Very nice, hoppes. The Lovat reminds me of a Leeds Ben Wade I have.

    Show Off Your Orlik Pipes Here

    My only current Orlik, though I’ve had a couple of nice Supremes in the past. This, however is from what I believe is the top of their line An AX53 Old Bond Street Billiard The stem is hand cut and wonderfully thin and comfortable. And I’m a HUGE fan of this blast.

    Show Us Your Loewe Pipes

    Here is my current Loewe Lineup. My guess on a date for all 3 is somewhere in the 1950s. Up top is a Ripple Grain ”Block” Bulldog. (Unsmoked when I got it last week!) Then we have an Original “Falkland” Billiard. (Excellent condition when I got it from Chance Whitamore’s (Great-Estate-Pipes)...

    A Pair of Pre-Trans Barling's Bulldogs: I need some information.

    Ok, thanks so much for all of the input so far, gentlemen. Here's some pics of the button, slot and tenon of the one that looks a lot less used. I was mixed up on the tenon, by the way. It's the traditional English tenon on this one, and the more used one has the "two step". Jessie, there are...

    A Pair of Pre-Trans Barling's Bulldogs: I need some information.

    Hello Gentlemen I humbly submit these old Barling Bulldog's for your expertise. Both just arrived in a lot from the UK with pipes from the Ben Wade Leeds Era. The one that looks nearly new has the arched "BARLING'S MAKE" logo on one side, and "EL" on the other side. Those are the only...
