What a bunch of hooey :roll: I am just older than most and have some more time and resources to put into pipes. Heck I am about to become a grandfather. There has to be some payoff for hanging in there this long, right?
I didn't put my Dunnies up here to compete. I hope my collection inspires rather than discourages. I do a lot of buying, restoration and selling to accumulate the capital to build my collection. I treat this as a full blown hobby and because my work is largely seasonal, I have the time in the winter to spend with pipes.
