Rescued 2 pipes, passed on more

[pappymac]

Wife wanted to hit the antique/collectible shops in Bay St. Louis. I found two to add to the collection. Don't know if I will smoke the Bavarian looking pipe with the windscreen, but the Kaywoodie is a 2 digit Stembiter that is in really good condition. Looks like it was barely smoked.


I passed on a pipe that was labeled Irish Bogwood because even at 50% off, it was out of my price range.


That shop also had 6 or 7 Edwards pipes that were stamped Algerian Briar. Don't know the brand so I did buy one. They were all in restorable condition.

Edwards used great briar and made great pipes. Those would have been good ones.

Good deal on the Woodie, dont much care for the Hunter type pipes

Took the Kaywoodie apart to start the cleaning process. These photos are before I started.

You would really enjoy the Edwards pipes. I own five of them and they are among my favorite pipes.

Went back and bought two of the Edwards a 713-M and a 845. Also picked up a WDC Milano Hesson Guard Pat. 18550

The Bavarian looks like more of a decorative pipe, but it might smoke well. The bog pipe -- don't think I would have bought that one either. pappy', we've just been praising Edwards/Benton pipes on a different thread, so it looks like you made a good pick. Nice Kaywoodie, interesting shape between a billiard and an apple.

The Bavarian was smoked. I ran a pipe cleaner through the top stem and it came out brown. The same for the bowl, wiped it with a tissue and it came out black. The middle piece looks like some type of plastic and looks like it has never been smoked though. I confess I bought it more to be a shelf-sitter than a smoker.
I have three other pipes that I bought just as display pieces.

I also just grabbed a WDC Milano Hesson Guard Pat. 1855800 (I may be off on that number)
