I have searched all over the place and it's tough to find a good looking, new skater.
I recently bought a vintage Hilson skater at P&C for $50. It's nice but it's not quite as nice as I would have liked. A bit small. Seems very machined.
There's a beautiful Beckler Meer at smokingpipes. I bought that exact pipe this time last year and I loved it. I had to return it because it actually didn't pass a pipe cleaner. Well, it passed it, but the pipe cleaner continued under the bowl revealing a bit of a mis-drill - I asked them if they could fix it, but they preferred just to credit my account. I loved that pipe.
Other than this, I have seen a few estate Charatans.
If you happen to come across any nice looking Skaters, feel free to shoot me a link or post here. I would greatly appreciate it. -Geoff
