Sweet graining, looks like best of early Relief Grain KW’s.

Yes, the blasts came out super on the Anniversary pipes. Very few are left.

Sorry to hear of your job loss, but hoping for a great new venture for you.
This photo of yours fits better horizontally, so I didn't try to rotate it, but here it is a bit bigger. Such a collection you have, and nice photo of the anniversary pipes.

 

[crashthegrey]

I usually get pictures right. I guess I'll blame my recent absence. Lol. Thank you.

Good for you for picking yourself up by your bootstraps and making a positive out of a negative! :clap:
Great collection you’ve got there and what a cute daughter. Life has its moments but every time I pick up a pipe I think, “ahhh life’s good”. Good luck with your biz, with hard work and perseverance you will surely succeed. Nothing like having a daughter (or kids) to really motivate you.

Very cool!

And, good luck moving forward.

This great photo could use some enlarging, too!

 

[crashthegrey]

Pipes and kids. The two best motivators. Lol. I'm trying. Thanks for all of the kind words.

Those Anniversary pipes are fantastic. I'd be all over his pipes if they were smaller.

 

[crashthegrey]

There are a lot of smaller Kaywoodie pipes coming. The Anniversary were definitely large.

 

[buckaroo]

Thx, Crash. I'll keep an eye out.

Great collection there Crash. You know how I love Kaywoodie pipes and have been collecting them for over 40 years. Not only are they great smoking pipes, their history is incredible as well. Happy puffing, the fun is in the treasure hunting as you know. Wishing you the best of luck in your new endeavour. Hang in there.

Knowing Bill has made pipes for 30 years and is basically a fourth generation pipe maker makes it fun to have the classics and modern pipes, Paul. I am definitely a huge fan. It may have a little bit to do with my new adventure. Thanks so much Andy! I have a long way to go before I get to your collection level.

X2 on that. Would like to see the 99b resurrected.

 

[crashthegrey]

You are the second person in so many days to mention the 99b. I'm trying to get Bill to make one as a Handmade.

99b
Here’s the shape for pipers not familiar with the shape, thanks to Reborn Pipes.

 

[alexj52]

wow the 99b is a beauty. Would definitely spur a ton of interest
