Estate sale find.....Finally

[irish]

I have been to hundreds of estate sales and bought alot of pipes but never seemed to hit the jackpot. Today I went to an estate sale and scored....FINALLY.

No it is not the greatest find on earth but for me it was a good one. There are some really nice pipes in here and alot good estates. I walked in saw the pipe case and stand but didn't know what I had till I opened the box... HELL YEA!!

 

[irishsmoker]

Wow! Nice score!!

 

[irish]

52 pipes in all. Some of the better ones right off the bat where as follows,
Ben Wade Danish Pride made in Denmark

Peterson #314

Stanwell # 86

Stanwell # Golden Contrast 63

Savinelli

Barling

Several Kaywoodies

Several Falcons

Vikings

several Dr. Grabows

and alot of nice basket pipes from Italy and France and a few from England.
Most are very clean and hardly smoked. a Few you could tell where his favorites and had been smoked hard. mostly the Grabows.

[irish]

Thanks you Gentlemen.
@greg yes sir it sure does.
@shawn yes sir I will post pics as I get them cleaned up.
@irishsmoker sorry about that it was a very nice large Billard meer, will post pic.
@loseth no sir I'm sorry to my wife's disatisfaction I never sell pipes. I just keep putting them on the shelf. I love them all. I need to but I can't bring myself to do it. I actually put one on here one time to trade it off for a Peterson I was looking for and I couldn't bring myself to do it. I ended up just buying the Peterson. Maybe one of these days .... but uhh..I doubt it..LOL..
