So not too sure what to say about it other than WOW... That did happen didn't it!! This is a realization post with a "please help identify this pipe" at the end.
Let's start at the beginning. A couple months back I was cruising the bay and saw the pipe that is in the red pipe couch and I had to have it. It is a 9" long HUGE chunk of briar. A Canadian styled pipe. It is a Chacom collector with the CC on the stem.
That held me over for about a week till I was in an antique shop and spotted the three leather wrapped pipes directly behind the same red pipe couch. At $5 each how could I pass them up when I have always wanted one!! They are Longchamp leather wrapped briar pipes.
Same story, about a week later I am searching for a decent priced Gourd Calabash pipe on the bay and find the Calabash shaped meerschaum pipe in the case of the pic bellow. It is a beautiful piece of meerschaum, smokes wonderfully and so worth it!!! Not sure of the carver however but it is a true lattice pipe meaning the lattice cutouts are all connected.

Soret about the two posts, phone was being stupid and wouldn't let me do two...
A week goes by and my Canadian itch is going again and I find the savinelli Oscar aged briar in the bottom right of the pic. It is such a beauty! Light as a feather to boot!
Once again me and the girlfriend find ourselves in our frequently visited antique store and I spot the pipe rack in the pic with a few pipes and a square shanked MM cob. I have a soft spot for square shanked MMs so I inquired about it and had to buy the whole thing just for the one pipe!! Well, I look inside of the rack to find the three Yellow-Bole unsmoked bowls that go to my aluminum pipe I aquired some time back so I made the deal. Even though I have about 4 pipe racks I need to sell!!! No matter HAHA!
The same day as getting the pipe rack I saw the red pipe couch I have mentioned a few times already. I thought that was the coolest thing EVER so of course... I MUST HAVE IT!
So now we arrive at yesterday, me and the girlfriend are at yet another antique store in Riverside CA. I spot a bunch of square shanked MM cons I have a soft spot for and make my way over. I inquire about them and at $10 each I was not too into them. Then I see the bamboo shanked cob which I thought was pretty cool. At 3 for $20 I took them home with me.
Still out in riverside an antique store had a case full of boxed practically brand new pipes with the socks and all. I looked at them all and found the one sitting in the "modern pipe couch" at the bottom right of the pic. It was in a Brigham box but the stamp said differently. Not too sure what it said honestly but I love the odd shape of it. Beautiful Birdseye around the rim and flame grain all around the bowl. Still had a rubber bit on the stem and all. This is where I would love the exerts advice. Can anyone make out this stamp in the second pic?

Some real nice pipes and goodies you've found along the way. I think those pipe couches are the coolest. Would love to stumble upon one of those myself while snooping around the antique shops and flea markets. :puffy:
