Susan made a carrot cake for my birthday.

Our friend, John, gave me a vintage Japanese Tee, Co. lighter:

Susan went with a theme this year, and got me vintage pipe stands. This one seems to be a cigarette ashtray (the black piece is some kind of plastic). Maybe I’ll use this Scotty for a Scottie Piersel I have.

This little gnome guy is pretty wacky. Maybe it’ll get paired with a Brebbia pipe, or a Brebbia Gnome stamped Savinelli.

This Syroco resin stand might be good for one of my Longchamp Pony Hair Leather wrapped pipes.

This Scotty stand came with a pretty old cob, but its sticker is missing, so I don’t know what brand of pipe this might be.

This brass whale stand was listed as a Comoy’s of London. Maybe the Comoy’s Brasenose will fit.

This brass sea captain had me chuckling. What a weird position! Is he waiting to take the pipe? He has an anchor on his hat. I might have to put a Captain Black pipe on/in him.

This might be a third Scotty!

The Captain one might be my favourite. It’s just so weird. I love it.

Everybody is busy congratulating you on such fantastic pipes and stands and rightly so, what a fantastic haul. But may I be the first one to say;

That is a beautiful, beautiful lighter.

Just fantastic. I'm getting slightly emotional the more I admire it.

Well done and happy belated birthday!



Edit: John, if you're reading this, well keep up the good work and we await next year.

Happy Birthday!

With the beautifully photographed pipes and paraphernalia you've shared with us the last couple of years, I might be looking forward to your birthday as much as you are! Enjoy!

That's the way to celebrate!
I had a number of Scottie themed stands, used in my old display. The wood like ones are Syroco, a plastic wood made in Syracuse.

Tell me about the Kaywoodie keg pipe, I've never seen one before.
