That’s the first year of the PLip for the 1898 one.That Peterson bulldog is definitely droolworthy (on the first photo on first page).
It’s an evolving process. It hasn’t taken as long as extremely specialized collections can take. My initial bug hit collecting WW2 and earlier Kaywoodie pipes. It took off from there and most pipes were obtained through constant awareness.Collections like that are so impressive to see. A lot of history in one spot. How long did it take you to track down all those pipes?
Do it!I need to update this thread. lol
Yes you do. I'm personally interested in seeing all those old meers added to the family portrait.I need to update this thread. lol
