Found A Treasure In An Antique Store...

[briarbuck]

Those Corallo's are dry smokers. Super light. Nice pipes!

 

[jttnk]

Such a nice deal! Did you make it back today??

Yes sir, and here are the the other two... Let the cleaning begin. I will post when done or maybe in progress.

Thank you all for the encouragement and kind words.

Corallos are very porous, use a toothbrush and water or alcohol (Everclear) to clean the exterior of the pipe. Any type of soap with be absorbed into the Corallo briar and leave a soapy taste when smoked.

Great finds!!!!

Great find. The wife and I haven't been "junktique" shopping since last June. I found a Comoy tobacco jar for $10.
My best find was a Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro for $3.

That is some nice finds at a very attractive price.

So you pay $50 for $700.00 of pipes. Jesus loves you!

Good to know. I’ll try warm water and alcohol first. Spit and papertowel for the rim char, per Cap‘n Embers.

seriously it would have been worth picking them up even for potential trade value.

I got them to enjoy trying to bring them back to life. i have t practice being patient. Don’t try to do all processes on all pipes at one time. Take time and let it unfold. I hope I can be that patient.

learning to take time is a very important part of life. It's one of the reasons pipes are so great. You don't just stuff it with tobacco you take the time it needs to get it right. You don't try to puff all the smoke out you gently coax it out. And you'll have these pipe for the rest of your life you don't need them cleaned right away. And yeah I think now I need to find an antique store and find some old pipes.

@jttnk very nice pipes!

I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like all cleaned up.

Had to look that one up. I had guessed the meaning but it was a new phrase for me. I’m a RSP, too. ?
