A Question For You Ebay Sellers...
I've been offering pipes on eBay for 10 years. Over the course of those years, I've had a handful of eBayers "retract" a bid for different reasons. It has been a rather rare occurrence. However, this year...ever since eBay took over all payment functions, I've got bidders retracting bids...- joeman

A friend owns this Dunhill, and is asking whether these metal threaded tenon stems come with a dot or not. This stem doesn’t have one. https://ibb.co/k1hCNYS https://ibb.co/m5G810w- joeman

Help Me Identify This Pipe Maker
Gents, I'm considering a pipe. It's a good sized freehand with this maker's signature on it from 2016. This is the entire stamping panel, no other markings. Do any of you recognize this to confirm who the maker is? -
Recognize This Dane Freehand Name?
I'm fairly decent when it comes to identifying Dane freehands...but I've not figured this one out. Trouble is, the nomenclature is quite worn after years of use...and these are the best pics I was able to get... Besides the 'Hand made in Denmark' at the bottom, I know what some of you are... -
Broken Pipe: Tom Douglas, aka "TED"
It is with great sadness that I post this topic. Our good friend Tom Douglas passed away at 71 years of age, this past Saturday, in Florida. It seems he had an infection in his stomach, but I don't know much more than that, regarding what actually contributed to his death. He did have a...- joeman

Tinderbox / Italy Freehand Question
I know that Lorenzo in Italy made scads of shapes for Tinberbox (lines included Monza, Lugano, etc)...but which Italian maker made asymmetrical freehands with burl top and burl shank end for TB?

GT&F Cecina - Anyone Recognize This?
Look at this beast. Obviously made for a shop, or some kind of display many years ago. Shown here with a standard sized bent.... Anyone recognize "GT&F / Cecina"? Pipedia, Pipephil and Google searches have turned up squat. Here's a better image of the ONLY stamping: I'm thinking of buying... -
WHICH Nielsen??
I’ve got pipes by some of the famous Danish ‘Nielsen’ freehand pipe makers...but I’ve not seen this particular stamping. I’ve already done a bit of homework...going through each Nielsen maker stamping I can find, so I’m hoping to hear from a better Dane expert than I to say who’s stamping this... -
GBD 9438 For Lafond's Pipe Shop
I know a good bit more than I used to about GBD...but thought I'd park this one here for you GBD historians. LaFond's was a cigar shop, founded in Detroit, 1898. Later, they opened at least one additional site, known as Lafond's Pipe Shop. They sold Barlings, Dunhill, Peterson, GBD, more. The...- joeman

Fraudulent eBay sellers...PLEASE BEWARE
My fellow pipers, I have a bit of a disturbing report for you. 99%of us (well...maybe 99.5%) buy estate pipes on eBay...or at least we sniff around. I'm guessing that in your regular eBay searches of late, you might be seeing the same thing I am...I've seen this no less than 7 or 8 times over...
