PAD: The Empire Strikes Back

[rdpowell]

Some Real Nice old pipes ya got there sir, makes me wish I could start collecting again but, alas.
Real great examples to say the least. I know not your experience in restoring pipes but, I would take great care
not to round off stems and shank ends keeping a particular eye on stamping's as to not remove anymore then has already been worn off. In fact I'd do little to restore these except maybe a spit clean.

Gents, if anyone is particularly interested in any of these pipes feel free to PM me. I’m always stumbling upon similar stuff in local estates/2nd hand shops, so happy to share the joy before I get emotionally attached through the clean up.

I'd purchase ALL of'em if I could but, like I said, it's just not possible. Hell, I can't even afford to buy one of my own pipes LOL!

Just waiting to see if the freight lines are opening back to NZ, but with our country’s impending ban on importing tobacco, I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in trading the Benco or Wyse for tins? I will list in the trade section, but just giving anyone who has shown interest on this thread the heads up.

love the upside down pipe. It is raining now and it would be perfect for that.

Just do a hand stand! Helps with the Nic hit and your chamber stays dry. Recommend you char light first
