    Peterson Sterling 999 (Pre-Republic) Restored.

    I took a risk on this Peterson Sterling 999, with only a few poor eBay photos, but the risk paid off. Full restoration details are my my blog entry at Reborn Pipes. This one has faux hallmarks, as US bound Sterlings did, but the round "Made in Ireland" COM dates it to approximately 1945 to...

    "Pocket Jar" - Tobacco Travel Container?

    Has any one tried one of these? I stumbled over the ad viewing Ebay pipes this morning. I often have a need for 1-2" ounces of tobacco to carry on a plane. I always feel a little self-conscious with a glass mason jar (small size), that the TSA might think it is weed (they have never gave it a...

    Plymouth Author Restoration (Sasieni Shape 88)

    I just finished this one, in time for a trip to Louisiana to visit my grandkids. I've been taking pipes back and and forth from Maryland and it's time to leave a few at my daughters home, along with some of my preferred blends. The 88/Ashford is one of my favorite shapes. Full details are...

    Fresh off the Peterson Pipe Notes blog press: Alas, no P-lip Vulcanite stem option, a requirement for me on a Peterson. https://petersonpipenotes.org/2021/11/18/254-special-bulletin-the-ragaire-drops-tomorrow-11-19/

    80 Year Old Kaywoodie Restoration

    Just finished this 01 Yacht shape this evening, a relatively easy restoration. I was pleased to find the 4-hole stinger intact, which allowed me to date the pipe as being made between 1932 and 1941 (small stinger ball was used after 1931, "Drinkless" only script, no Patent number was used up to...

    eBay Changes - PITA

    I don't sell many items on eBay, the fees have just went too high. Now, they changed their payout method to sellers, from Paypal to direct to a linked checking account. This sounds good, eliminating Paypal also removes their fee. But, you still use Paypal to buy items on eBay (at least that...

    GBD 9438 New Era - New Addition/Restoration

    I'm mostly a seller these days, but a 9438 in New Era finish, with the right stem, was lacking from my collection, so this one is staying. A relatively easy restoration, the pipe was delivered today and finished this evening (after a 10 mile bike ride and mowing the lawn, whew!) Full...

    Comoys 337C Prince Restored

    I finished this 337C London Pride last week and she's now in Ashdiggers collection in Sin City. I had forgotten that at the time, the London Pride grade was just below the Blue Riband. Full details are on the Reborn Pipes blog: (wow, I DO NOT like the new Wordpress format they forced upon us)...

    I believe this gentleman was interviewed on the PipesMagazine Podcast - right? Back in the day, he always had a pipe in hand. https://www.aol.com/sports/legendary-miami-fau-coach-howard-140153630.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=fb&tsrc=fb

    Peterson Mystery Shape - 1980 Shape 504 Bulldog

    This pipe caught my eye as I was unfamiliar with this shape. Sure enough, the 500 series is pretty rare and a bit of a mystery. Mark Irwin confimed the 1980 hallmark date and gave me some history on the series (what little there is). The rusticated finish on "Donegal" Rocky pipes from this...

    Happy Krampus Day!

    Happy Krampus Day (well, it was yesterday, Dec. 5th). I'd like to think that this guy smoked a pipe. As a young boy, growing up in West Germany, this person was not really threatening, but more mischievous. My brother and I always put our shoes outside our apartment door and in the morning...

    Sasieni "XS" Stamping Question

    Someone recently messaged me regarding the XS stamping on Sasieni pipes (and SXS) Pipephil says of the XS stamping. I assume that obtained that from some credible source (but who knows!). http://www.pipephil.eu/logos/en/logo-sasieni.html S is easy, that always corresponds to a Saddle stem...
