i know. its a shame. i really like the bent one.its almost like a bulldog. if only i had $20

 

[sherlock]

Those are awesome, I'm in the same boat if only I had the money.

 

[uberam3rica]

id buy the bent one for sure, but i dont get paid till next thursday.damn.

 

[scotrob]

if it was me, i would sell anything, do (almost) anything to scrape together that $20, beg, borrow, steal etc.... i think u might regret it if it slips by you, and as has been said already: they dont make em like that anymore! (of course it could sell for more than 20, but i suspect you will be lucky on this one)

You might have got it for $20 if 200 people hadnt clicked the link....

 

[papipeguy]

Very, very cool. Go grab them.

Paul that pipe is 90 years old, it may not be as neutral tasting as you hope. I'm going by the tarnished metal, but any kind of moisture gets sucked up by cobs over time. Could be fine, could taste like musty attic.

boy o boy---that 'dog' is really nice--if only i hadn't banned myself from e-bay

 

[bhpdrew]

I bid on the straight one. If I don't get it, I don't get it. Life goes on.

 

[lonestar]

Its rare for sure, and a real cool pipe. I just wouldn't *plan* on it being a smoker, but it might be fine. Cobs are like a sponge for funky smells, and the bad ones you just cant smoke enough to get rid of the funk.

I would date both pipes about 1910-1929

I know how you feel mate. I had the PAD and TAD pretty well licked all summer after I quit coming here. . . been back like a week and it just seems to be roaring back. But I have no money in my account so ha ha the joke's on. . . wait, joke's on me isn't it? Dammit. . ..

 

[yohanan]

Those are some very nice looking cobs, I like the way they were finished, does anyone know why they were called radio pipes?

 

[bubbadreier]

I love the look of those old cobs, but I just couldn't bring myself to smoke an old cob... For the same reason Lonestar talked about!

 

[lonestar]

So who bought them ????

 

[olderthandirt]

Damn, someone scored at $31!
