Browsing at the local antique mall today, I found this for five bucks:

Yeah. Pretty stoked.

Now there's a fireplace pipe if I ever... !
Great catch! And in time enough to clean it up for Christmas. :clap:
Thanks for posting the pix.

What a nice find, Glad for you. Nice pipe.

That's a sweet snag if I ever saw one.

Thanks, all. It doesn't like it's going to take much to get it in great shape again. I've always wanted to try a Peterson, but I've just never had that kind of money to spend on a pipe.

Nice score. I'll buy it for twice what you paid.

What do you say, double your money...?

I love tankards and I happen to have a Peterson. It will do good by you. Enjoy!

WOW!!!!! nice pipes. almost remind me Dunhill's tankard.

Peterson make Tankard 'specialty' line of pipe with rustic finish.

Any one know what year and where this pipe made?

 

[dannybeans]

So I was naughty and went ahead and tried a bowl before doing anything but cleaning the stem. What the heck, I figured, it still smells nice - not at all stale.
Yeah, I think I have a new favorite.

Nice score. I'll buy it for twice what you paid.

What do you say, double your money...?

Tempting. I do like a good return on an investment . . . .

Good looking burner, Danny.
You bought a quality pipe from a great manufacturer at a stupid price.
Most of us estate hunters would've paid twenty to forty for that one.

Excellent find!

Enjoy it, I know I enjoy mine!

 

[oldreddog]

I hope it gives you as much pleasure as mine gives me!

What an awesome score! Makes me want to hit the antique store circuit again but I doubt I'd find anything as interesting as that.

That is a great find!
