Very Vintage Rattrays Black Mallory
So a few months back I picked up a sealed vintage tin of Black Mallory at an antique shop. Assuming it would not be smokable I waited for my next club meeting to open the tin with the fellas for some fun. To our surprise it was perfectly fresh and smokable…absolutely amazing smoke enjoyed by...- dixie

My Murf Pipe
I am a member of the Central Coast Pipe Club in California and one of our members is an extremely talented artists and pipe maker. His carving work is just amazing. Murf hand carved this pipe with 27 tiny skulls all the way around the bowl. Great smoker. Just wanted to share. -
Comoy’s Special Question
Question for the resident experts on Comoy’s. I have this little Comoy’s Special with amazing 360 degree straight grain. It’s markings tell me it’s older but it does not appear to be a 3 part “C” on the metal reinforced stem. However, stem appears to be original. What is a “Special”? Is this an...- dixie

Big Score!
While out on my weekend rounds I came across a beautiful pipe with markings I was not familiar with. I asked the shop owner about it and they simply said it was a real nice pipe but they were unaware of the maker and priced it based on what they could find similar online. It was priced at $120... -
Barling’s Make YOW Straight Grain Question?
Picked this up on eBay last week. Gave it a clean up today. Did not touch the already faded nomenclature. No T.V.F or shape number that I can see. Just J.J. Fox & Co London and Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood Straight Grain. The stem had the Barling’s cross markings which is still barely visible but...- dixie

Hi all! It’s been a long time since I posted but I have been keeping up with the forums regularly. I came across this David Jones pipe at a Flea Market in California a few weeks back and was blown away by what an excellent smoker it is. I did some research and the PP grade was his second to... -
Peterson 999 Chubby Pre-Republic
Anybody else watch this Peterson over the past week? $565 for a pre-republic Peterson 999 Sterling Silver estate pipe!

New Old Kaywoodie Treasures
Picked up these 2 sets last week on ebay. Sellers photo's were just ok and the description said used because he was unsure if they had been smoked. I took a chance as it appeared to be worth the risk at the BIN price. Both sets are unsmoked and my have never come out of their original boxes. I... -
Peterson's 999 Info Needed
Gents, I came across this Peterson 999 that is shaped differently than what I am used to? I believe it is Pre-Republic. Any info? It is in rough shape but a solid pipe with no burn outs or cracks. Looking forward to a fun restore project. Compared to my Pre-Republic Dublin & London 999 -
Thoughts On This Preben Holm?
There has been a few new discussions about Preben Holm pipes and that got me thinking about one I recently received in a lot of pipes. I am not sure how to feel about this pipe…the grain is fantastic but the shape does not feel great in the hand like many of the Preben Holm pipes do. It is very... -
Sharing A Fun Peterson's Find
Before the Holidays, this popped up on Ebay as a BIN for $100. It was listed as a "Peterson Collection"...which I knew it was not…but I could not resist the display case. I figured maybe selling a few of the pipes in the photo would cover the cost of the entire purchase. All that being said, I... -

The Pipe Trade Conundrum
I recently visited with a friend who shares my passion for pipe smoking and collecting. We have been trading and selling estate pipes to each other for about 3 years now. Most recently I traded an unsmoked estate pipe and 2 others for one fine Italian pipe. The next day I received an email... -
Sasieni Ashford Double Stamp Walnut or Natural?
Take a look at this stamping. I see both Natural and Walnut? I am thinking coloring puts it at a Walnut grade but the grain on this pipe is worthy of the Natural stamping? Thoughts?- dixie
