Landed a white whale yesterday - a Gert Holbek Polonius
I reached out to a collector of Danish pipes - Pibe Dan and Gert Holbek in particular. He very generously agreed to sell me one of his 9 (yes, nine) Gert Holbek Poloniuses. He has the most enviable collection of Gert Holbeks - at least one of every shape Holbek produced.
What was very impressive to me was a photo showing his line-up of the Poloniuses. None were identical, each one an individual.
