    James Upshall P w/Roush Silver Band -

    I bought this big James Upshall P grade back in 2013 from the JB Hayes shop near Washington DC (now closed). It was in the large estate cabinet and I picked it up on nearly every visit. It was priced for what seemed to me to be too high (I think it was $250). Finally on one visit, John Hayes...

    The ebay ad for this pipe popped up on the GBD facebook page (like minded GBD fans are welcome to join us!). I had never seen a 9241 shape or the Beau Nash second line. On receipt, it was in pretty rough shape and took a lot more work than I had envisioned. The full details are on this...

    Peterson 999 Pre-Republic Sterling Restore

    This beauty belongs to forum member MJC. I typically don't do work beside pipes for my own collection, because I'm not a professional. He didn't want the worn nomenclature diminished any further, which was easy enough and I just love these early Petersons and in particular the 999 shape, so I...
