Well shoot, that looks like a lot of fun for a small amount of money! A good variety of shapes too. I like old pipes, and once cleaned up properly, they usually smoke as good as anything.

Congrats, and happy puffin!

Is that a Kaywoodie all-briar on the bottom left? If so, you got a very, very good deal. (PM me if you want to part with it!)

 

[teufelhund]

Nice score that sitter looks interesting to me. Any details on what you managed to get? We always like it when someone manages to find something great; even if it's just because we're jealous. :lol: Happy smoking!

 

[i8ball]

the description was very vague about everything

 

[i8ball]

and the main reason i wanted it i loved the look of the sitter it caught my eye and i had to have it

 

[peteguy]

Good score!

 

[yazamitaz]

Even if the bottom left and middle right are the only decent pipes, you got a GREAT deal. Congrats to you and I would also like to know (when you receive them) if the bottom left is an all briar

 

[papipeguy]

You've done well with this lot. Congrats and enjoy.

Are you referring to the bulldog? That one caught my eye as well.

 

[beefeater33]

Sallow-

Yes, the bulldog. It looks like a Kaywoodie All-Briar. I have a few of those, they have a briar stem. Only made in the early 1950's. Cool pipes!

 

[beefeater33]

Well, I thought they were only early 50's. Seems to be some conflicting info here.......

Anyhoo, they are neat pipes. I like mine, but truthfully, don't smoke them much. The briar feels good in the teeth though.

that would be sweet didnt know they made all briar style hoping so would love to try one but my frist one to clean up and try is gonna be the bent seating bulldog i love bent pipes, and i never had a true sitting pipe i have a couple that can sit but easy to knock over. and yeah i need a rotation of pipes i only have 3 so far use to be 5 but i lost one at the renfair this year and broke one in my bike crash.... so this should help me get it back up to a rotation again

 

[beefeater33]

Which renfair? Are you in Ohio?

 

[danielplainview]

Nice score. The bulldog looks great.

 

[i8ball]
