Never knew him, but I'm pickin up where he left off it seems... ?

Nice haul. I think it is great that Tony's collection is getting spread around to numerous smokers.

Very nice pipes!

I’m generally a fan of very short pipes but that Radice is NICE. Any idea on the era it was made? What’s the nomenclature on it?

 

[npod]

Wonderful stuff there. The pipes found a good home.

Back in the 1990’s I traded a black G or GG Sea Rock 95 to Tony. It had a gorgeous hexagonal pencil shank. (For those not familiar with Castello shapes, the 95 is a long shank pipe with a saddle bit, like the 75 or 14 Lovats, but with a pot bowl). I have watched eBay ever since Tony’s death and word that his collection was being dispersed in hopes that it would show up. So far not.
