L23??
Hi everyone, Stumbled upon this in a local estate. No markings except for the model L23 on the RH shank. Any thoughts to who the make might be? I know Orlik used 'L' for their de Luxe range, but I have one of these and there is a lot of brand markings on it. Im guessing its a mid century... -
Self-Isolation Restorations #8 - 1910 Loewe
If any of you Loewe collectors/enthusiasts out there could chip in with some information in regards to history, value, model shape (thinking Brazilian going from 1912 catalogue but can't really tell) etc. I'd really appreciate it. Massive respect goes to my neighbour Isaac for his courage and...- Ahi Ka

Self-Isolation Restorations #7 - Imperial Two Point
With two restorations threads remaining, I thought I better squeeze this delicate wee number into the series. I recently acquired this Imperial Two Point from a random estate sale with a Meer-lined Kiko bent. I have chosen not to include pics of the Kiko as a restoration and save it for the...- Ahi Ka

Self-Isolation Restorations #6 - Lindbergh 49
So here in Aotearoa we have just under another week to go in complete lockdown before we transition into a milder form of social isolation. Amongst other things, these last few weeks have severely curbed my growing PAD…however with the potential of being able to start estate hunting again next... -
Self-Isolation Restorations #4 - Ménage à trois
Here we have three lovely frenchies, two sharing a stem, which came as part of a bulk lot of pipes I restored for some work mates who wanted to try making a switch from cigarettes. They each got a couple of different shaped briar pipes and a cob to try and I ended up with the leftovers. First... -

Self-Isolation Restorations #3 - Orlik De Luxe and Jeantet Antic
With now having clocked up a three weeks in self-admitted home detention, I thought I would include a pair of special pipes for the third instalment of these threads. While technically not restorations – more cleaning than anything else, these two bad boys were the first pipes I ever purchased... -
Self-Isolation Restorations - Transition-Period Hilson?
One of the small advantages of having a few children aged 4 and under, is the countless hours you spend awake each night can be used to read all the obscure threads hiding in the depths of these forums! Even as a lurk, I would spend at least an hour or so around 2am browsing. The only difference... -

Should I Make This GBD ‘Unsmoked’?...
In the spirit of procrastination, I have been working on a few estate pipes this morning instead of writing. Currently, I have been cleaning up this GBD Prehistoric model 368/614L. I quite like it, reminds me of something my great grandad used to smoke. It has a killer sandblast, is a sitter...- Ahi Ka

Pre-Republic Pete?? Or Just Another Prem Purchase...
Found this at a local estate sale. K-briar. 106. Made in Ireland (block one line) She needs a bit of loving, but still in good nick, and with original ‘K’ stem From the COM markings, my gut says it’s a late 40s pre-republic model. However, I’m aware that Peterson’s pipes can be notorious to...
