My Displays... Pic Heavy

[lifeon2]

I'm pretty sure I posted about getting this thing a while back but I never got around to posting pics. I still have a ways to go to fill it but it is a lot of fun trying to find everything I need. I will be redoing a few spots on it so that it is 2 each on kaywoodie, yello bowl and medico.


This side will be converted to Yello Bole, so far I have decided on aero grates and air controls still working on deciding the last spot.


Little undecided on this side



Crest, Double Dry and VFQ


This side is good and the novas will be switched to fine lines


The Ebony will be switched to magnums


This side is good as is.
Up next is an old medico display, 2 more jet streams and it is done


My Dr. Grabow 3 sided rotating display

For side 1 I need 1 more smooth omega and it is full


Side 2 needs 2 Dukes, 1 Silver Duke and 2 Crown Dukes


Side 3 needs 1 Royal Duke and 2 Color Dukes


2 Missouri Meerschaum displays one is just sort of generic and the other as you can see is for the Mark II I need 8 more Mark IIs to fill it but they are pretty hard to come by I have been working on this one for about 3 years now.


Here we have the Kaywoodie/Yello Bole Young Mens Pipe Dept display. When I got this one I actually had all the pipes I needed to fill it


Last we have a display for the entire Dr. Grabow Duke line. I emptied it because I like the 3 sided display better, still deciding if I want to swap it off or fill it as well.


I actually have 2 more but they are downstairs so I'll head down in a bit and get some shots and have them up before the end of the day most likely. Hope you guys enjoyed this.

I have one of those Dr. Grabow Grand Dukes if you're interested in a trade.

I would also like to purchase one of your bent military band Dr. Grabow's for $6.95, please.

WOW! Lookin' good Rick!! On that revolving display,in the Golden Duke section--is that 85 a Golden Duke? 8O

Rare shape in a Golden Duke! I have Larks,cobs,plugged Dane,Bamboo Mulberry......

 

[lifeon2]

Brag I would like to be able to purchase most of these pipes for the prices listed on the display
Ed that 85 would need to be topped and cleaned up a bit but if you are interested I can get you some pics and we can go from there.
Everyone else thanks for the kind words.....you should see the rest of my collection I think the displays only represent about 1/3.

 

[mrenglish]

That is one awesome set up!!

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Neat stuff. Really cool.

 

[cigrmaster]

That collection is incredible, very cool using the original display's. If that only represents 1/3 of your collection how many pipes do you actually own? That 1/3 is a huge number by itself.

Without a doubt you are my new hero !!! :worship:
Very awesome collection ! Great job ! Thank you for sharing ! :puffpipe:

 

[lifeon2]

Cigrmaster I'm not sure the exact number but several months ago I started to do an inventory and stopped when I got to 400 so probably around 500ish.
Irish glad you like it and there is more to come.

 

[ssjones]

Wow, that is wonderful and impressive display. What an interesting collecting niche.

 

[micdabutcher]

That is really impressive. You must be a patient guy or have learned to be. Thanks for the look.

 

[jservant98]

Wow very impressive! I have never seen those colored Grabow's before, they are really cool looking! :: I am assuming they don't make those anymore, you have a bunch of really nice pipes there...
