Comoy's Sandblast 13 (pics)
Absolutely enamored with this one. 28g of pleasure. Super comfy bit. Shape 13 is a 1/2 bent small billiard. Just gave it a quick soak and rub down to remove most of the stem oxidation. Not sure of the age...thinking ~1950's or so. Any guesses?- bonehed

Meer Topped Briar?
Not exactly sure why, but I decided to lowball on a whim and the offer was accepted. Looks like Birmingham silver...Meerschaum topped briar? Either way it'll make a nice mantle piece if I decide not to smoke it... should clean up well though. More photos HERE -

Raising the Bottom of a Meer
Happily puffing away on a NOS Tanganyika here - loving everything about it, except the draught hole is a smidgen high. Is there a way to raise the bottom outside of scraping some material off a beater and somehow pressing it in there - or should I forget and enjoy? Not really bothersome, but if...- bonehed

A Couple Older Pouches - Prestige Mixture And Blend 11
Found these recently... I think the Prestige mix is an older version of THIS, but can't find anything about Blend 11. Anyone have any info? The Prestige is crispy but intact and the 11 feels fresh as any pouch bought today might.- bonehed

Kudos to Kenneth (CPF Hungarian)
Enjoying this CPF Best Make Hungarian just in from Kenneth Norwood. Originally came (to me) with a tin foil shimmed stem and needing some general cleanup. Now with properly fit and bent Lucite stem as I was looking for functionality, not period correctness. Reused the tenon. De-crustified and... -
