    '61 Dunhill OX & Williams Estate Briars

    Has anyone ever purchased from Williams Estate Briars? http://estatebriarpipes.dk/the%20pipes/dunhill/index.html He has a whole slew of Dunhills listed. I was looking at this 1961 OX Tanshell, he's asking $221 US shipped. I'm kind of picky about my bowl tops, so I passed. Perhaps I'm nuts...

    A 1930's, Comoy's 499 Extraordinaire with a $23.64 BIN? Nah, probably not. I did report this and notified Rob Cooper. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-Comoys-Extraordinaire-499-Bent-Rhodesian-Pipe-Mint-COOPER/202099150536?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

    I Don't Feel So Bad..

    I listed and sold this GBD 9438 Super Flame in July. I had it listed for $189 I think (I can't fine any remnants of my ad). Treasurepipes offered me $145, which I accepted. He just resold it for $153. He had it listed as an "8438", perhaps that limited his exposure. I thought my pictures...

    "Chance" TV show - Hulu - Anyone?

    No spoilers please! I saw a trailer for the Hulu show, "Chance" and it looked pretty good. Hugh Laurie is the lead and it was adapted from a book by Ken Nunn. Nunn is an author of several of my favorite books, that center around surfing (Tapping The Source and The Dogs of Winter). I have not...

    Berkley Club Bulldog (Sasieni 2nd)

    This one belongs to forum member fnord. He contacted me after spotting the pipe on Ebay and wondered if it was made by Sasieni. It was and I advised him that it looked like good buy. I volunteered to restore should he be successful in the purchase. The pipe was indeed in great shape and I...

    Peterson at 2017 IPCPR Show

    Blade Runner 2049 (No Spoilers!)

    I just saw this at an Imax theater this evening and I came away impressed. Visually, it was stunning and in the same vein as the original. The audio just as good as the original, but in Imax, a bit too loud for my old ears. A good story line, with some twists and a great villian. I think...

    Parker Super Bruyere Lovat (Dating Help)

    My buddy Dave J picked this up in Kansas City and gifted it to me for working on his Blue Ribands. I knew a little about Parker pipes and know that the Patent No. pipes had a date code similar to Dunhills. This one has some odd stamps beside the Patent number, what looks like a sideways L and a...

    A Comoy's Blue Riband Trio

    My buddy, Dave J, picked up this trio of Comoy's Blue Ribands at the recent Kansas City show. They were all in spectacular condition and just need the lightest of touch ups. Unfortunately, one has what looks to be a replacement stem. I left my lighted loupe on the last time I used it, so I...

    $1000 Ashford

    A few of us were watching this one. Time got away from me and I forgot to bid, so I lost it by only about $800.... (kidding, I was only watching) I see 8-Dot Ashfords or Patent era Four Dots routinely listed for $600-$700 but I don't know if any have actually sold (several have been listed...
