Newly Acquired Estates / One Unsmoked Kaywoodie

[voorhees]

Here are my 4th of July weekend finds.
Jansen's N.O.(New Orleans)panel pipe shop pipe. According to some digging, they were made by Comoy's for the shop. Pipe has great grain and no visible fills
As bought.


Cleaned up but not buffed or waxed.



This is a Georgetown "Collector" made probably by GBD for the Georgetown Tobacco shop in D.C




This is also a Georgetown, a "Berkebile" (incidentally the shop owners last name) This is a nice size pipe with a great stem




And last but not least an unsmoked Kaywoodie SuperGrain (not so super grain) 07 (55-72)

Some very interesting pipes there. Nice snag.

Wow, nice haul! I have a Jansen's pipe that I bought new in their shop in the mid 1980's and it still smokes great. I also like the poker, some nice grain there too. Enjoy!

Thanks guys.
Orley, once I was researching, I came across your old post mentioning you had one. I found the history quite interesting.

Very nice, I bet if you contacted Georgetown Tobacco there may be records to give you some pertinent information on those two, having been there it's a great B&M, regards.

The Jansens is definitely a Comoy's shape. Here's a 1992 Christmas pipe I restored for my son-in-law.

What exceedingly lovely and magnificent treasures!! Congrats! :clap: I lol'ed at the mention of the "Berkebile"! One of my favorite teachers in junior high (late 1960s early 70s) was a biology teacher named Mr. Berkebile!! He was oddly but happily eccentric and allowed our minds to go as far as they could within the limits of reason... a great teacher! Now I should find a Berkebile pipe and have him sign it!! Although I think he'd have to FAX it down from The World To Come! Anyways. GREAT PIPES!!

Beautiful pipe Al. I have a fondness for shop pipes "Made By". They have interesting history and are well built pipes. I do wonder would they be considered "seconds" since they don't bear the Comoy name? It appears to have no fills and fine grain.

A very nice haul! I, too, really like the Jansen and the poker/cherrywood.
