I am speechless...

 

[voorhees]

I love it. I see these vintage pipes and wished they were still made. So much character and class. Lovely job!

 

[lohengrin]

Worth of of such a nice work.

 

[davet]

Very nice, as always. Any info on Purex? I have one marked Purex but also International Chemical Company.

 

[seacaptain]

Beautiful job! That pipe shape is amazing and your hard work really paid off. Enjoy!

 

[cortezattic]

Great resto job. :clap:

Thanks for the before/after pix -- greatly appreciate the extra bit of effort for our edification.

 

[newbroom]

Nicely done and what a neat and unusual shape! It looks like a charmer.

 

[captainprophesy]

Wow... That's night and day, you did a great job man. :clap:

 

[xrundog]

Looks good. LHS sure did embrace the jet age shapes. I wonder if Ray Loewy did any design work for them?

 

[gloucesterman]

Another very impressive bit of workmanship. Dutch

 

[ejames]

That is nice Dave !! I love that shape !!

 

[pylorns]

Damn thats nice, what is it a squashed bulldog? Bull-tomatoe ?

 

[aldecaker]

As always, nice resurrection. Do all these go in your collection, or do you sell them?

 

[mcitinner1]

Cool shape for showing off the grain, very nice, Dave.

 

[smoothsailing]

I love the shape and the restore is beautifully done. It would be incredible to see a group shot of your LHS collection.

 

[tobyducote]

Wow beautiful job Dave

 

[jkrug]

It would be incredible to see a group shot of your LHS collection.

I couldn't agree more. Another great resto. :clap:

Thanks fellas. It's hard to see in the pictures but the bowl is slightly canted forward. I'm not sure what shape you would call this. With over 500 factory made shapes, several classic shapes coalesced into these hybrids.
@ aldecaker, I do sell pipes sometimes, but I rarely let any of my LHS or GBD's out of the collection.

Here is short video of some of my LHS pipes. I have about 5 more that aren't in this clip. No worries, my YouTube channel is all pipe porn. No blathering, reviews, or box openings.
