Custom Lee Van Cleef pipe maker?

[meerschaumsteve]

Kudret Gezer is my absolute favorite turkish pipe carver, I have one of his pipes from 1985 also. Supposedly its from his first year of making pipes. I wish I could collect more of his work, but they are expensive, and the numbers start getting big really fast... hehe. His brothers Sevket and Mesut also are super talented.

Actually, I don't see that as bad news at all.
I had thought the pipe was from the 1950's, so maybe I was right. What brand name it was really didn't matter to me, I wanted to get as close a pipe as I possibly could to what Lee used in the movie, preferably the exact same type of pipe. I think I was successful.
Thanks so much for your input again!

Wow all these meers have some great color! Storient I dreamed about that pipe I won last night!

 

[photoman13]

I did indeed and storient all those pipes pictured above did they start off white? If so does it take a long time for those kind of colors to come out?

Great another pipe I want now. :DStorient how close to the movie pipe do you think you can make one?

 

[photoman13]

Wow you really know your stuff. Sorry about the newbie question. I also remember that pipe well. For a few more dollars is an amazing classic.

I asked because the one from altinok the stem is not quite the same diameter as the shank and to me that makes the look of the pipe I am probably being too picky but if yours will look just like the one in the pics above I think I would rather order from you.Again I am prbably just being nit picky.

 

[ohiopuffer]

Storient I sent a email and a pm to order one.I just can't resist that pipe. :D

I do not doubt it.I will post some pics when I get it if I can get them to work.I have no luck posting pics for some reason.

 

[photoman13]

Have you seen the thread on how to post pics?

 

[photoman13]

Here is the thread.

Yes I have tried everything I am not sure what the problem is but they never come through.I did get one to work a while back but that was it.I am not a real computer saavy person either so that doesn't help lol.

I always use photobucket and just upload pictures to an album then on the right it gives you 4 different options to copy. Just click on IMG Code. From there just go to your post on pipesmagazine and right click, paste, voila!

 

[ohiopuffer]

I need to do that it sounds easy enough.

 

[photoman13]

You should give it a try. I forgot to mention you have to creat a photobucket account first lol. I guess that is kind of a given though.

 

[ohiopuffer]

I need to try something because my pics never work lol.

Clint Eastwood has been on all day on AMC and I saw "Angel Eyes" with his meer-looked like the top of the bowl was black and the rest a reddish/yellow color. Still like the spaghetti westerns.
