    Glycerine and Vulcanite?

    I’m making soap with the family and was reading up on glycerine. Has anyone tried using it on their stems? Either hot water bath and cooled with glycerine, or in place of obsidian oil?

    I can’t find anything about this little gem. H&H with the shape number. Looks like a mid to late 1920s. Anyone seen these ones before?

    Comoy Rescue

    I have used Walker for years. After he closed his business, it was difficult for me to find a quality repair business. I was lucky enough to be referred to Fletch and I’m impressed at his quality of work. @RustiePyles CPG I have been collecting a bunch of Comoy pipes to send his way. Some are...

    Deer Hoof Pipe?

    Looks to me like a door hoof. The chamber is absolutely tiny. Smaller than a dime. Missing parts? Pay no attention to the pipes behind it. Lol

    Dating Peterson Pipe (Pre-Republic)

    Am I incorrect in my dating of this one? I was under the impression that this is 1945ish to 1947ish. @denholrl

    How Do I Describe This “Damage”

    I have a pipe I was going to send out for restoration. However after getting it I realized it had been topped or something is off with that. But, the chamber has a lip from the walls to the bottom curve at the 12-2 o’clock position. The walls are pretty even and really damn thick, so I know...

    Dating Comoy Second

    I was wonder if there is a date range other than, “pre-50’s” for this pipe. I have a few with this COM stamp and don’t quite understand the dating quote yet for comoys. I’ve seen some described as 30s, some 20s-50s , etc. Any knowledge is appreciated. Upfront, I’ll use this info to help...

    Where To Find Rim Bands?

    I have a few older pipes that have cracked running down the rim to 1/2 way down the bowl. I’d love to “band” it with silver and small nails. Similar to ones from the 20s that you may see from time to time. Anyone know where that is sold?

    Olive Wood Cracks?

    I’ve only had 1 other olive wood pipe and it cracked along the grain. It was cosmetic. Is this cracking normal/cosmetic or structural on this one?

    WO Larsen Catalogues or Shape Charts/Carvers

    I know that a lot of the Larsen pipes are “precise to speculative” on who made each pipe. Are there any websites like the stanwell ones that list shapes and who made the pipe?

    Pete Pipe Stem Tenon Question

    I’ve seen both white and black delrin tenons. And bone tenons. Does anyone know what would have been used mid century on this one? Any ideas on button design? It’s missing the stem and I’ll probably send to briarville. Would the stem have been Amber or vulcanite? I’m not looking to...
