Estate Find

[reloader]

Just got back from another day of yard sale hunting. Came across a box with all this inside and got it for $20. Haven't cataloged all the pipes yet, but did notice a Dunhill shell briar and some Sasieni 4 dot pipes as well as a Gigi.

What a haul. An embarrassment of riches. Were the pipes reasonably well maintained? I count about 18 fully assembled pipes. With the rack and jar, that's pennies a pipe.

Congratulations that is a great find! A nice boost to your collection. What shape are the pouches in? Enjoy!

Is that a Savinelli or a GBD?

You lucky dog! Excellent find bro…except now when Mrs reloader sees what you can get for $20, you realise you are screwed when it comes to justifying even a basket pipe purchase at full retail.

All but three of the 18 will be fine after I work on them.

2 of the 3 are in good shape, the 3rd will need minor repairs.

LOL, the first thing she said is "You're done now, right?".

That’s a bargain and a half! Congrats! I’ll post some estates I got the other day when they get to me, nowhere near the cost/benefit ratio but good nonetheless.

Congratulations!
That’s awesome!

You should have said, "You mean for today, right?"

Congratulations! I'm happy for you and envious at the same time. What a great score!

Yes sir. I now have four Royal Danish pipes. Love them.

I've only ever found one other pipe at a yard sale/estate sale, so this was amazing. Looking forward to seeing your acquisitions.

Damn, wish I would have thought of that!
