Thought I’d post some before pics of the few pipes I’m about to launch into working on. PM me if you have any interest in trades before I become emotionally attached to any. Lol
Also, if anyone has any info beyond what is easily accessible on the usual sites it would be greatly appreciated. I have attached closer pics of the pipes/stummels I am drawing blanks on.
Enjoy
Pipes L to R, from top:
Peterson’s System 0, “Made in England” straight, two line COM, 314 - Pre-republic, just not sure how early
Byford, London Made, 7
Falcon, made in England, FD8
Butz-Choquin, Bistro, St Claude, France, 1603
Ropp, Deluxe, France, 926
L&Co (Left shank), Loewe, London W. (Right shank), Pastime (Underside) - Haymarket era 30s-50s I presume
Stummels (need some help here):
Brown Bent:
T**BALL (arched) - looks like toeball?
COMFORT
LONDON
Right hand side of shank:
Genuine Briar
173
Left Sandblast:
ROYALITE
KØBENHAVN
18 (or 188 or 183. Last digit only half visible and looks almost like a mistake on stamping)
Right Sandblast:
No nomenclature visible. Interesting shape with very thin walls. Should I smoke super slow like in a clay, or make a faux meer lining with plaster of Paris?
Also included pic of partial boxes set of 1910 Kia Ora pipes. Very much indebted to @jguss for his insane research work. Was stoked to see that one was unsmoked when it arrived.
