Help Me Fill My Kaywoodie Hi-Bowl Collection!

[randelli]

I am thinking about that one. I have been watching it for awhile now. When I first saw it they wanted $45 for it. The only issue, well two issues, is the missing inlay and a huge chunk missing on the bottiom of the bit - which would require more skill than I have to restore.
I can barely clean, micro mesh, and polish :P

 

[scrooge]

That's a pretty straight forward fix for a lot of these guys. Dave G has fixed a lot worse ones for me, an he can put another inlay in also. He just did one for me. I'll try to post a before an after picture.

 

[scrooge]

Dave is good.

 

[danielplainview]

Thanks Scrooge. Yes that one had seen better days.

 

[newbroom]

scrooge and dave g

That's a beautiful resurrection, and a worthy specimen for it!

 

[randelli]

Ok I am sold. After seeing the before and after shots I feel good about getting the H7 and sending it to Dave.
Thanks for sharing Scrooge!

It has been quiet for a few weeks; but I have been busy! I was able to find and win the H7 and H9 that popped up on ebay. Now I am searching for the H4. Here is the collection so far:

Once I get the H4 I will be sending them all out to rehab...

 

[randelli]

And yes the H9 is unsmoked and still has the hand-written $10.95 price tag!

 

[ssjones]

What a great niche! Couldn't you just guess that the bulldog would be the tough one to find.

 

[randelli]

It looks great, especially in the relief grain, that is the one I need to find to balance out the collection.

 

[randelli]

Thought I would bump this in case someone knows of an H4 Bulldog somewhere.

 

[ashdigger]

That's pretty cool. I love the specialization.

 

[randelli]

FINALLY!
One these days I will be able to say that, alas, today is NOT that day...
Keep an eye out for me!

 

[Sjmiller CPG]

There is a H4 on EBay right now.

 

[randelli]

Oh my gosh! Thank you, sjmiller! I will have to check that out.

The Allentown club meets at a great cigar bar in Bethlehem PA, "The Wooden Match". They give them a table in the basement, which is really private and the service/food is very good. We each spend about $20 on average I'd guess and there are typically 8 guys on a club night. I've gone there by myself on occasion for dinner and my pipe. On those solo trips I'm upstairs in the main section and the lone pipe smoker. I've not had any issues going solo with a pipe at that location. Spending some money is the key.

Thanks hagley. I am watching it to see where it goes.
My wife is laughing at me because it is not my first choice. Can anyone see why that would be? Still, if the price is right.....

 

[voorhees]

Can anyone see why that would be?

I am missing it....

 

[randelli]

It has more to do with the collection than the pipe itself.

I saw that one on the bay, don't worry I wont snipe you, good luck ::
