I Remember When..........
I remember when all freight trains had a caboose. We were probably 13 or 14 always hanging at the tracks running our traps or just plinking with our air guns.

I Remember When..........
19Nov2025 Thought but it would be fun to start a thread reminiscent of the past things we remember but are long gone. Be creative from your past! I remember when.......

Tin bids veracity
Ever smoke a cigarette from a cutter top? Excellent!!! All cigarettes use to come in tins I believe and I figured that's why there use to so many cigarette cases. I don't smoke cigarettes but those cutter tops are something special.- Briarcutter

Why are some pipes “expensive”?
Many folks can really appreciate hand made items. Carries a lot of weight with some collectors. I know I can really appreciate that, thinking some guy carved this or that with his own two hands.

Devil Anse Pipes?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_Anse_Hatfield Came from the miniseries, Kevin Costner played Anes and smoked that pipe. Interestingly, I've read Anse didn't even smoke a pipe. But I could be wrong.- Briarcutter

You did no wrong, carry on. I would however suggest this. If you're going to get serious about high end pipes I'd suggest going to a large pipe show, like Chicago. There you can see in your hands the different makers, fit,finish and compare. I think its the best way to experience a vast number...- Briarcutter

Tin bids veracity
I agree. Just a guess but I'd say most of those high prices aren't shipped to the US. Which kind of messes up the pricing. But it's a supply and demand game.- Briarcutter

You have to fill out a custom form. You can legally mark it as a gift. You have to state what you are shipping and value i.e. tobacco. I'm not sure of the taxes on a gift.- Briarcutter
