Good evening fellow pipers,
I have helped out an older neighbor widow(85 years old) since her husband died in 2019. He was a pipe smoker and among the many tasks I help Barbara with she loves when I smoke my pipe in her house. It reminds her of her husband.
Anyhow after John died his wife(understandably) gave his good pipes to their son. Recently she found a box of some 20 pipes that her son was not interested in so she passed them on to me. They were ROUGH but I have been working on restoring them. I suspect most of the pipes were drug store or basket pipes but what the heck...they basically all smoke the same so I will use them.
In the box were these two Calabash pipes. There is no identification on either of them and they took some work to fix up but I wanted to share them and see if any of you have any thoughts about them. Im sure they are cheap pipes but I like the way they look. Thoughts?
