    Burnt out early 20th C GBD's

    Thanks for all this. Not sure about that guy though. Not sure about this either! Thought I'd have a go so very gently, and in stages, reemed out all that old gunge. (Images a bit out of sequence). It took a while and there were no more loses to the really badly shot bowl. The other was all good...

    Burnt out early 20th C GBD's

    I've this pair of cased, what were gorgeous, probably French GBD briar's with silver hallmarks for rare London imports. Unfortunately one bowl is completely burnt out and the other is choked with some losses around the top edge. Both have silver collars and what might be horn shafts. So what...

    On we go! Constructive criticism is very useful but the tone of the criticism right from the start has been far from it. Everyone should go through life with their cup half not half empty.

    I love it! Time for this to be knocked on the head. So endith the first lesson, you can't please everyone all of the time - night night all.

    Indeed it is and what a brilliant Job Paul has done. I'm glad that there was a happy resolution and that the pipe is now being enjoyed fully.

    Hi Graig61A, Too late for that mate'y, I think I might be a wee bit older and wiser than you! Yes, thanks again, the image, which is mine of course, shows that the socket ONLY penetrates the old, broken amber. Not sure what your problem is but are you qualified to criticize I wonder? Time to...

    Exactly, that's amber you can see and only a very shallow hole to take the brass insert, NONE of the original stem was removed! ATB Peter.

    Oh dear Georged, slow down man, you're not listening, sorry, reading what I've said. The procedure I undertook IS reversible. So, you think that I've caused more damage than the original, historical short section repair? What you're not aware of is that when I "hogged out" a socket for the...

    Hello chaps. Let me answer Sablebrush 52 first if I may. To clarify what needed to be replaced it was a short, final section of stem including the bite zone and button. At some point in the past this had been lost and been replace with a repair that included a white metal band into which the...

    Peterson with a Hole!

    Hello Simon, nice to meet you, at last. Lets try to put things in perspective. I currently have 93 items listed on eBay. 24 of these have no interest for you, 29 are meerschaum pipes and 40 are briars. I believe it's this last batch that's giving you angst. Of the 40 briar pipes 38 have had...

    Peterson with a Hole!

    Well if I got that wrong with the pre or post I apologise. However I did discuss this with one of my clients who explained about Cardogan. IF I got it wrong it was a genuine mistake. However, I do take exception to being branded as "dishonest"! I have not risen to the bait with these postings...

    Peterson with a Hole!

    Oh dear Greeneyes, I hope you feel better now. Perhaps you'd be good enough to let me know what you collect and I can then post my butchering process on one of your favourites in the hope of snagging a sale from you. Perhaps not. All the very best, Peter.
