Day of antiquing (pic heavy)

[bootlegbonvivant]

We spent the afternoon checking out the once-a-month antique mall and a few other shops. Sad thing is, someone in the area cleaned out some of the vendors and their pipes. Apparently, most of them were good pipes as well. Oh well, we say and continue on.
By the end of the day, we ended up with 14 pipes, a humidor & stand, a flask, and really cool ashtray. So, here are the pics.
The new humidor jar is the top middle with the horses on it.

The group of pipes.

4 Kaywoodies

Cesare Silver Line Gemini and a Savinelli Oscar

Pride of London, Alpha, Triumph, and Aerosphere

Mastercraft, Yorkshire Bark Grain Israel, and 2 Dr. Grabows

New ashtray with the Rinaldo brothers and tamper Baskerville made for Cyndi.

Take one down....pass it around...

It was a really good day! We also got a leather pipe stand shaped like a book (the meerschaum world doesn't fit, alas) and spent $150. I really like the finds - some of them are really unusual and we've got some research ahead of us.
Bootleg didn't mention the reason for the last picture - we have some rare earth magnets that we were using to hold labels to the metal lids of the tins. When we went to the mountains, the magnets started attaching to all sorts of weirdness, so we've been playing with sticking tins to everything. :D The table, the lamp, the fridge...

These don't even need restoration - just a cleaning up and a couple of stems need to be refitted then they'll all be ready to find whose home they're going to live in. I've called dibs on some and Bootleg went WHAT??? LOL So, who knows what will be kept and what will be sold or traded. :D

Great day! What is the story on Triumph brand pipes? I have two Triumph motorcycles and most certainly find one of those.

NICE Score!

 

[patiobum]

Nice pipes and stuff !!

Nice haul. i think it is time to check out some shops here.

Not too sure about the Triumph pipe. I believe this is the second pipe I've found in antique shops/estates in the area. Being that I cannot find anything about them online, I'm going to have to assume they are carved locally by a hobbyist, or they are a brand by another major maker, just not as well known.

Awesome finds! I love going around to flea markets and antique shops and looking around for pipes and other cool things. Of course I can also never resist stopping to comb through LPs.

 

[bubbadreier]

I love going antique shopping!! Nice finds!

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

Aside from finding pipes, there's a lot of interesting things in antique shops. Just to see some of history is well worth it to me.

Nice score, guys! I wish I had time to do this, but I sleep during the day... Damn old third shift job.

And this is why I'm stopping by here when I drop my girlfriend off at college. Who knows what loot is to be found?
