    Packing Bullseye Coins

    I pop out the centers, fold coin in half and cut into cubes with scissors. I also cut up the centers and mix throughout the bowl. :)

    Selected Straight Grain Basket Pipe

    If anyone is on the hunt for these, they also come with the Made in London England stamp. Makes them easy to identify as a Comoy pipe.

    They used to sneak under the radar, but folks are wise now.

    Selected Straight Grain Basket Pipe

    Selected Straight Grain pipes were originally a Specimen Straight Grain until a fault in the briar was found. Specimen SG pipes were the highest grade of Comoy pipes.

    Found A Treasure In An Antique Store...

    Corallos are very porous, use a toothbrush and water or alcohol (Everclear) to clean the exterior of the pipe. Any type of soap with be absorbed into the Corallo briar and leave a soapy taste when smoked. Great finds!!!!

    Comoys Discussion

    On my examples, there are not letters following the shape number. The B after shape numbers indicates a variation of shape, as far as I can tell. Most reinforced at the push pipes in my collection are Blue Ribands, Royal Comoy's and London Prides that are pre-war or just a bit after the war...

    Old Catalogs

    I have been collecting Comoy's catalogs and price sheets. Right now I have hard copies of 1965, 1970, 1971 and 1977. It is nice to have the digital versions of other eras as well.
