My latest pipe pickup!

[admin]

I love Bulldogs too, even though I only have a couple of them. That one looks very nice Bubba.

I am also a fan of the Bulldog/Rhodesian style. I do prefer bent.

 

[cortezattic]

I almost always smoke a bulldog. In fact, I have very few of any other shape.

The shape of the bowl and shank (their proportions) very much resemble a GBD,

though I wouldn't think they made a twin bore stem. For me, GBD's with a ¾" chamber

diameter have been great smokers. I hope you enjoy yours immensely Bubba.

That looks like the stem end on a MasterCraft Prince pipe I have.Is that the brand?

 

[bubbadreier]

The only thing the pipe says is IMPORT

 

[pstlpkr]

Bubba, I submit that the "IMPORT" is irrelevant.

Judging by the responses to it's pictures you have a winner on your hands.

I have only one Bulldog (Johs) and I love it.
Great git!

I love that "bite proof" "double bore" stem.

Sexy!

 

[cortezattic]

Sandpaper off the word "import" and scratch-in "Bubba." If it's a good smoker, that's all that counts.

As long as it isn't in Chinese don't sweat the "import" part

 

[bubbadreier]

No it is not chinese, at least I don't think it would be!
I am going to get a wood stamp that says "BUBBA" now!

 

[bubbadreier]

Okay well the clean up and restoration is pretty much done, I will post some pictures when I get home!

 

[ernest]

Great.Looking forward to them.

 

[bubbadreier]

Okay here are the pics!

 

[unclearthur]

Wonderful job! Looks like a new pipe .

 

[onizuka]

That is such a gigantic difference - it truly inspires me to go out and buy some terribly handled pipes that I may polish out a beauty.

 

[cortezattic]

Wow. Great pipe Bubba. Now go out and get that shank stamp made.

 

[unclearthur]

My method on ebay is to buy the cruddiest looking pipes and restore them. Saved me thousands so far.

 

[pstlpkr]

Only one word for you Bubba.....

WOW!

Saved all those pics to my PIPES screen saver.
Second word....

SEXY!

 

[python]

That pipe cleaned up great! Awesome job Bubba!

 

[thomc80]

Your pipe looks awesome after the clean up man. Love bulldogs myself. Awesome job.

What can I say that hasn't already been said.... excellent job bubba, that is a lovely looking renovation you've done. Welldone, and I hope it smokes as good as it looks.
