Look What I just Found

[papipeguy]

Went rummaging through some old boxes today and found this little treasure trove. 2 Ben Wades (1 made in England and 1 made in Denmark), a Hirschl & Bendheim cob made in Washington,Mo. and a Harcourt 6160 hand carved beauty in addition to my favorite all-time blend from Lane Ltd (Looks to be about 6 bowls left in the tin). These were packed away when we moved to Bethlehem, Pa 19 years ago. It feels like a family reunion.

Grumble!!! I followed the instructions. Will try again.

It looks to me like you only have closing tags, make sure that the image url is hugged tightly by opening and closing tags

['img]picture URL [/img] minus the apostrophe which I used to trick the forum into not displaying an image since // didn't work
can't wait to see your pipes!

 

[papipeguy]

Don't know what you mean by closing tags, etc

Eureka! Went back and followed Lawrences instructions.

I just wanted to let you now that I just heavily edited this thread to clean it up!
Awesome that you found some old friends! I really like that first pipe!

 

[papipeguy]

Thanks, I did make a mess of it. Working on getting better at posting pics.

Nice finds! Glad you got the pictures working, as for opening and closing tags, quick HTML lesson, tags tell the browser what to do ['img] is an opening tag and go in front of the text you want to modify, closing tags ['/img] go on the end of the text and effectively tell the browser that the operation is finished. minus all the apostrophes of course.

Wow , that is a nice find. Smoke em up!

 

[papipeguy]

A little explanation of what I posted may be in order. The Harcourt is supposed to be made by Preben Holm for Dunhill as their counter to the Danish pipes of that era.As

for the Ben Wades; the one on the left was made in Denmark and the one on the right is made in England.

HA HA That is awesome!! I love moments like that!!! Congrats!!! Those are some nice looking pipes...

That's better than finding a 50 in an old pair of pants.

:clap:

 

[jcsnaps]

Great find. I have a couple Ben Wade Danish Prides, didn't Preben Holm have an association with the Ben Wade line when it was in Denmark? Hope that tobacco aged gracefully.

Wow that Harcourt is badass! Great find John I hope you find a few more to share with us.

 

[unclearthur]

What a neat find!

Can we get a shot of the top of the canister? It looks to have a weird opening mechanism on it. Kinda like a pull tab but not. Also, let us know if that Highland blend is as good as you remember it.

Dang that Harcourt is out and out one of the prettiest things I've ever seen.

Haha couldn't you have made me this green for St. Patty's day?
