I walked into a local shop the other day that I've had some great luck with in the past and ended up having some more good luck! I picked up three pipes. (I cant get my photo bucket to work right now so pics to come)
The first is a Charaten's Make, Special, straight brandy, its in great shape! Needs a cleaning and the stem is oxidized. Next is a Larson, marked Larson Copenhagen Handmade, its a sandblast billiard with a pencil shank and is also in amazing condition, barely smoked and with oxidized stem. Lastly a Peterson Meerschaum I believe, as the texture is like drywall "popcorn" texture on it, and it has some good color to it. I think it is a 101,it is a very large bowl so I am not sure if that would change the shape number. The silver band says Peterson Dublin, Sterling Silver, and has the proof marks but I cannot read them easily. Will post pictures soon, in the meantime any other good resources for checking out the Peterson, I cannot really find much from Pipepedia. I also cannot find much about Peterson Meerschaums. The final price for the whole lot, $50!
