Antique Store Finds

[PeriqueMyInterest]

Found these three in an antique store in Victoria, BC, this morning. $40 for the three of them.

I'm thinking of trading the dunhill for a lovat from dunhill or a similar company.

Nice score! What are the other two?

 

[PeriqueMyInterest]

The other two are a Peterson system standard and a Sunrise which is a Comoy second

Very nice . I continue to shop for the ever elusive Dunhill !!!

Wow. Just wow.
Scores like yours are why I keep pulling over at every Mom and Pop junk/antique store when I'm on the road.
FWIW, I have a Comoy Sunrise that smokes the pants off several of my pricier burners, I hope yours smokes as well, Assaad.

That post just triggered the antique shop urge in me big time! Great finds!
Well, I'll be on a briar hunt this holiday weekend... ::

I never drive as far south as Victoria, I stick to Parksville to Chemanus. I think I need to expand my range. Ive never seen any tobacciana of that quality on my usual rounds.

Congrats on finding the most elusive pipe of them all at antique stores, just like everyone else I wait for my turn to make the best find of them all. Congrats again and can't wait to see them polished up.

With that kind of luck you should play the Powerball too. Congrats!

Thanks everyone. I couldn't believe it when I saw the white spot and when I checked it out it was the real deal. 1964 shell. I went back later and checked out the Peterson, having assumed it was a wellington earlier. My girlfriend urged me to buy it because she knows I'm a pete nut. If anyone is in Victoria this weekend check out the military collectables antique store on Government St. I can't remember what it was called specifically. If anyone is interested in trading a nice lovat for a Dunhill let me know. I'll be posting a F/T thread when I get it all cleaned up.

Wow! All I ever find are beat up no names and cobs.
I, also, have a Comoy's Sunrise that's a terrific smoke.

 

[shaintiques]

Wow, you suck, I mean that's awesome, jealous! Very nice score!!!

Excellent finds man I hit up the shops all the time but the 20 dollar dunny still eludes me.

 

[petes03]

Wow, excellent finds!

 

[latbomber]

Wow! Fantastic score, I would be jumping up and down if I saw a Dunhill at an antique store.

Nice work, I was in Victoria a few weeks ago and hit a few shops.... didn't see those. (If I had you wouldn't have!) Again, nice score.
