    A fine example I've also been admiring for some time.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I was keenly following this one last week. And must say 'd I be even more interested in knowing its future story--eg if it went to someone here or known to the Dunhill collecting community. The world is not exactly awash in 1927 shell billiard magnums. And it's unlikely there are any other...

    Hello from Spokane

    Welcome! You're far from alone in being a McClelland's fan. And of course if you're willing to pay the stiff premium and scout around the vintage market, it can be found.

    Many many thanks to you all! BIZARRE. . . I just tried again, and voila: loaded instantly.

    Pipestud Website Issues?

    I'm sure that is the likeliest explanation. But glad to know Kansas City and Texas remain at peace.

    Opened and Rusty

    Like @sablebrush52 and @kcghost said, day glow neon RED. You could ask the seller (assuming you can do this on tinbids), to weigh the rusty one with the distant hope that perhaps its seal is on its last legs and not totally shot--to muddle metaphor. Or make a bid that's vastly discounted from...

    Reintroduction

    Welcome back! I suspect one of the mods could figure out your former self if you were interested.

    Coffee Check

    Just as it comes from nature, of course. Which is to say black espresso (without sugar, milk or cream). I have a small, no frills Italian Fiorenzato professional machine I bought a dozen years ago (which occasionally I need to tear to bits to replace something) and a Macap grinder (which took...

    Agreed. The arched Dunhill was used very very briefly--for that reason alone this is a fine score.

    Meanwhile, mounting the stem right side up might help.
