I can help with two of your "unknown" pics.
The picture two up from the bottom is of the legendary Paul Perri, a pipemaker of more than seventy years experience. Now that I think about it, Perri's career probably started more like 75 or 80 years ago. Think about that for a while.
The one another eight up from Paul is of Andy Camire, a leading guru of classic American pipe manufacturers and long time member of Boston's Sherlock Holmes Pipe Club.

And that's Russ Ouellette, kindly stepping in to help out at the Standard Tobacco table. Probably while I was out taking a leak or talking with Mark Ryan.

Looks like it was a feast of personalities.

 

[woodsroad]

Oh, there were some personalities there, to be sure.

Your first unknown, man with the long beard and, I think, Cabela's hat is OMS or One Man Smoke from YouTube. His real name is Salam. He is a friend of the Dagner's and also an early champion of Hackert pipes.

I am NOT happy this was my alternate year. I plan on being at the West Coast Pipe show in 2016. So far, even years only for me.

Thanks for posting! I had a good time at the WCPS as usual and enjoyed visiting with GKCPC members Bill and Anthony.

This is member Doc Watson aka Andy Camire a friend and longtime pipe collector. 8O

Graphic design on those tins is quite attractive.

Dang! I thought I followed the instructions I wrote down exactly, but image is not showing from this site. So I try Imgur.

DAMN! Strike two!
But thanks, Deathmetal. What did I miss?
Also, Russ and Dan are seen to the right.

 

[deathmetal]

You hafta get the link ending in .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.

...but I agree ImgUr is pretty painless!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Thanks, makes sense. However, neither offered link had that. So I created an account, which I will use going forward. I assume you used your account, d-m, and if so, how did you find the photo to link to? (The links on the non-sub page also seemed to have different URLs in addition to dropping the .jpg suffix.
And, thank you!

 

[ssjones]

Great pictures. That last one really captured the spirit of Dan!

Has anyone ever remarked that you never see Dan & Simon in the same photograph!

 

[papipeguy]

The fellow in the hat to Russ' left is Dan Chlebove of Gabrieli Pipes. He also restores the estate pipes for P&C as well as being their featured in-house pipe maker.

I assume you used your account, d-m, and if so, how did you find the photo to link to? (The links on the non-sub page also seemed to have different URLs in addition to dropping the .jpg suffix.

They don't make it easy, because they'd rather that you link to the page with the ads.
On the lower right-hand side of the page, there's a "direct link" option:

You can either copy that, or right-click on the image and select "Copy image location" (varies with browser/device/OS).

 

[jpmcwjr]

My latter point being: unless you've opened an account there are only two options to "share" and neither will work with the IMG tags here. At least that was my experience. This could be important if that is so for everyone, as the instructions you just posted from another thread won't work—unless one has signed in on an account.

Now that look like the kind of man that people should buy lots of tobacco from!
