Historic Nomination Thread

[buroak]

I am trying to find all of the ANB threads. The older volumes are a little harder to unearth.

Another nomination:
Ye Olde UK Tins --- The Orphans And The Obscure

 

[mso489]

Good idea! Thank you to those who followed through to make it real.

Thanks Buroak - all threads now in the new section.
I also moved this one, the granddaddy of Tobacianna threads:

^ Grandaddy indeed! Thanks Al.

I do want to keep the country-specific, pipe manufacturer threads in the British section.

I do want to keep the country-specific, pipe manufacturer threads in the British section.

What about both places?
The history board is unlikely to ever have enough threads/titles that anything sinks out of sight. It's an archive... highly visible "one stop shopping" is the point, right?
Just keep the initial chunk-O-info on the history board and lock it, with a pointer at the bottom of it to the British/etc board that holds the "discussion version".

 

[ssjones]

The tricky part is most of MLC's threads are "living" and he ads to them from time to time, so I can't lock every one. MLC - if you want a particular thread locked, just post to that effect.

I wonder if this thread really belongs in the British Pipes Section. True, it does contain a lot about English sandblasted pipes. The thread does also have plenty about early American sandblasting, as well as sandblasting by pipe makers of other nationalities.

Neat stuff!


Just got back home and online,

was surprised and excited to see this new sub-forum! :!:
Thank you Kevin for adding this specific space.
Thank you Al for gathering the archive.
I'll continue to do my thing with the old UK companies and post them here, but I do hope that this sub-forum may encourage other people to post some stuff up too, for instance, I'd love to see a whole spread about Larus Bros. and Edgeworth, or old American tobbaciana in general, or anything for that matter, as there's a lot out there to explore and collate and present and the format here at Pipesmagazine.com is the perfect avenue for it! :idea:

...and allow folks to weigh in on what belongs and what does not.

That's a great point Buroak,

some threads seem to belong, but discussion would be good to get a consensus.
Something like this:

http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/an-examination-of-headspace-in-erinmore-tobacco

may or may not be relevant here,

I can't really decide.
This Krumble Kake thread also has a lot of info and also an appearance by Premal,

http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/smokers-haven-krumble-kake
I'll be looking for other threads to include,

and I greatly look forward to seeing this sub-forum grow and expand,

it'll be an enjoyable archival library!

 

[ssjones]

Yikes, you boys are going to keep me busy!
I did move the sandblast thread. I had puzzled over that one, so the confirmation made sense.
I'll work on the others over the weekend.

 

[stickframer]

Nice work guys. ::

 

[ssjones]

Ok, whew, I have all of those moved over. Carry on!

 

[misterlowercase]

Thanks Al!

Hat's off you boys! Job well done, very much appreciated.
