7 Refreshed Estates (Pic Heavy)

[pruss]

Good evening folks I posted these seven pipes earlier, here: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/next-in-line-for-the-bench
The Estella needs some more work on the stem, and the Big Ben Pipo is meer lined and I'm still trying to figure out how to clean it up. But the rest, well I've finally had a chance to clean them up. So here they are...
1) Julius Vesz Circle 3 Poker






2) Brigham 3 Dot 1/4 Bent Dublin






3) Comoy's Golden Grain Shape 67







4) Hilson Europe Shape 60 (Belgium)






5) Bewlay's Sandblasted Bent Billiard






6) London Town Billiard Shape 142






7) Unbranded Prince Shape #337 (Possible Comoy's Second -- Same Made in London over England)

Amazing job! They all are quite stunning.

Very nice. I especially like the Brigham and the Comoy's. If you guys keep talking up the Brighams, I might have to spring for one for myself in the future. The only one I got previously was a pot shape (supposed to be a billiard) which don't usually work for me. Another pipe smoker is enjoying it now.

The Brig is the finest one of the lot mate. You done a fine job cleaning em all up.

Excellent Restoration job Pruss!

Nice job. How do you get them to look so shiny?

 

[pruss]

Thanks for all the comments gang. This was a fun group to work with.
I am in love, a little bit, with the Vesz and the Comoy's.

How do you get them to look so shiny?

I buff them with white diamond (buffing compound) and then carnauba wax, before finishing with a hand polish with a Dunhill Pipe Wipe.

Excellent job! I'm really diggin that Hilson bulldog for some reason!

 

[jah76]

Pete, those old made in Belgium ones are good smokers. I have a tendency to get any pipe gurgling if I'm not careful, but those old Hilson's of mine just smoke dry from the get go.
Although heck I have a few newer ones and they smoke just fine too.

Wonderful looking lot. I favor the prince and poker shapes myself, but all look great!

 

[cmdrmcbragg]

Fine job cleaning them up and getting them back in shape.
