PAD Over The Weekend

[voorhees]

Went out antiquing this weekend and wasn't expecting much. One vendor had a pipe stand, which led to a hidden box of pipes! I picked up these four.
Before cleaning pics.


#1 is a mystery, Marked with an encircled "H" on stem, ELDORADO nomenclature. Corsican bruyere France. Any one know the maker?


#2 Falcon. I have been after one for a while. This one aside from the charred top is in great shape.


#3 Dr. Grabow Casino. Smoked very little, I wanted it because of the carved spade.


#4 Master Craft Deluxe. Like the tall bowl. Very clean, except for stem/rim char.


Thanks for looking.

Congrats Jason - nice scores! That Grabow looks fairly unique with the spade carved into the bowl - pretty cool. Could the "H" pipe be a Hardcastle?

That Grabow is real neat!

A nice group of pipes. Can't help on the encircled H pipe, but it is definitely not a Hardcastle. They did not have a circle around their logo and their pipes were made in London
Easy to pick up a spare bowl for the Falcon.

could be a Hollycourt by M. Linkman & Co. As far as I know the Hardcastle "H" was never encircled. The pipe does have an American look about it.

Nice score!
Thanks for sharing them.

papipeguy, I'm of the same opinion. Not a Hardcastle. Maybe Irwin's, Maybe Holleycourt...or Hermes(alternate logo)
Thanks for the compliments guys!

Wow, nice scores! Sorry, never heard of the Eldorado, but it's a great looking pipe!

It may be a Medico (H)usky Eldorado however the pipe was made in France (not Corsican as I stated earlier). Did Medico have French made pipes?
Still not sure.
