PAD Struck Hard

[seanv]

PAD struck me hard this month so far. I have picked up a few pipes for the restore bin. The photos are from the listings on ebay so they are crappy.

Isle Of Man Poker


Brigham 303 from the sixties or seventies


Rocky nose warmer bulldog

Unsure who made this one but it caught my eye and was cheap

Yellowbole honey cured with a patent number. I have no info about this aside from it was cheap and looked decent

Mayfair canadian shape

Nice selections, I am always drawn to Brighams and the Canadian shape but I have to agree the cheapo no-name has appeal too. These will be great once you’ve cleaned them up.

I have a Tsuge Tankard, but have yet to add a true Poker to my collection.

Beautiful set, @seanv! Can’t wait to see ‘em after they get the Cool Shoeshine!

The "Isle Of Man" meer poker was almost certainly made by Laxey Pipes, who also provided the meerschaum bowls for Corporate Era Barling pipes.

Yes those should clean up nicely! Can't wait to see after pics!

Nice
I tried looking up the diamond logo but there are too many choices without being able to actually see the pipe.

You’re a braver man than I, I don’t buy project pipes! I like my estates gently used. Good on you, I hope they prove fruitful and bring you good smokes, or good sales when restored and flipped!

Awesome pick ups!

You have most of a rotation there, some good ones. Brigham uses rock maple inserts (or whatever they're called) but most say they're optional. Restoration makes the cost of PAD far less than buying new, so you're off to a good head start.
