    Another UK Pipe Stolen by Pitney Bowes

    If Global Shipping is finally dropping Pitney Bowes, it is cause for celebration. My own practice, like Jessie's--after being burned four years ago with a confiscation that displeased the kind seller almost as much as myself (though I did snag the article in question from the...

    Nadir Of Dunhills?

    Of course if you have your heart set on a birth year pipe, and with an otherwise attractive example of a classic shape in decent nick, you might be able to convince Georged to recut the stem and restain the pipe. . . .

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    9" Dunhill 1925 shell magnums don't appear often. And the "insert" (likely a Dunhill repair) is well worth noting...

    Hello From Sofia, Bulgaria

    I have the very fondest memories of Sofia--where I spent several days on a trip devoted to following one of the original routes of the Orient Express. The first leg of my trip (London to Venice) was in surreal luxury devoted to celebrating the train's centennial. The rest of my trip to Istanbul...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Marvich's chainsaw massacres--which first began to appear in fairly significant number mid-July. He describes himself as "a retired wooden boat builder and bronze foundry pattern maker," who decided to try his hand at repairing "briars with cracked bowls," says he began a dozen years ago, and...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I suppose the seller deserves some credit for not trying to the disguise radical major surgery he has performed on pipes that I presume seemed beyond saving. But I must say when I first began to stumble on these ebay listings my heart sank and I thought--to put the matter politely--WTF?

    The elegant Dunhill tamper with a pocket clip is also a beauty--not often seen.

    Brand New, Unsmoked!

    Perhaps the maker's rigorous program of factory testing, followed by a few test drives taken by prospective buyers prior to sale?

    New York City

    Parks are theoretically nonsmoking. But the disneyfication of Times Square and eliminating traffic from many Manhattan streets to make pedestrian malls with chairs and tables may not be a bad bet near your hotel--especially early morning and weekday evenings. if you keep a reasonable distance...

    Late 1919 Dunhill Bulldog 1

    Congratulations on a wonderful find in what appears to be extraordinarily good shape. Especially nice is seeing how legible is all its nomenclature including the reg number on the stem. The arched Dunhill very precisely dates your Quaint "O" model bulldog to 1919, and as the page below shows, it...

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Bravo Jon! For a moment, Google misled me into speculating that perhaps the far more famous financier, art collector and Franco-Peruvian guano king of this name might have been a hobbyist goldsmith. But then I found a query on the website of the ASCAS with pictures of an attractive silver...

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Like lost Leonardo paintings or a 13th first edition copy of Poe's Tamerlane, anything is possible. Although the possibility of any of us accidentally lucking into either is exceedingly remote. The first difficulty is that Dunhill's earliest pipes remain a particularly murky subject, and...

    Landline Phone Down? Good Luck

    @mso489, you need to START with your state regulator. To be brief, when phone lines were regulated as a utility, you enjoyed a number of actual legal rights. At least some of these continued after deregulation--in some states after very long legal battles ending in "consent decrees"--that still...

    Looking for a Restorer: 1925 Dunhill CK Shell

    'Tis the season of heart-stopping delays with international packages in transit. All the worse because tracking updates can go quiet for days. Indeed, it's almost as if--at some point in their Christmas Eve workday--all postal employees in the world, gazing at the mountain of...

    S.T. Dupont Lighter Owners Club

    I only own large Line Ones (and only use Dupont fuel which burns quite clean). But on these if you unlatch the spring that holds the flint in place, that closes the nozzle so you can work at leisure. Hope this helps.
