Who Snagged This!?!
I used to searches for “Straight Grain” until Shiny Pipes used that keyword for everything… including blasted and rusticated pipes. Jerks. ????? -
Show Off Your Bulldogs/Rhodesians
This one is big enough that it deserves its own post. I have named it “Bradley”. It’s my only Rad Davis pipe; and if I cube cut, it takes four flakes with some head space at the top of the bowl.- pruss

Nice! I have a couple of Comoy’s kicking around too. Here they are with a wayward BBB and an Askwith Morta.- pruss

$2 Yard Sale Find
Nail polish remover often has other ingredients included. Don’t go there. Just head to the hardware store and grab some acetone.- pruss

New Pipe Ghosted with 1Q.

Couple of Pipes Come Home
Pretty nice when a couple kids come home after a long trip abroad. Thanks for sharing, Mike. — PRuss -
Saving the Stamping
Yep. Those all make good sense. I’ve done similarly when addressing burnouts by drilling them out and plugging them. I’m at the point now, though, that if I see a break or burnout I just move on to another pipe. For me, the return from sale won’t match the investment in time or $$ for that...- pruss

Who Snagged This!?!
When I was hunting, those were one of my favourites. Second only to the awful photo and barely identified mislabeled pipe listing. -

Saving the Stamping
This is why I fled North America to the South Pacific. So… why do we want to remove stain? It’s usually put on pipes for good reason. Sometimes stain is used to accentuate good grain, or to hide mediocre grain, or to bury fills behind colour. I have never fully stripped a stummel, not in 100s...- pruss

First PAD in Five Years….
Yeah, Jim, agreed on the difference. Your pipes markings and those on my pipe are the same. I still think it’s likely that they are the initials of the silversmith, or perhaps the retailer.- pruss

Yep. I’ve seen that before on pipes of the same era; notably BBBs.- pruss

How about I sell him a box, and then the two of us have a coffee together: what with us being the only two pipe collectors in Aotearoa.- pruss
