Member "Ryan" and I exchanged communication this summer about a lot of pipes that he wanted to have restored. I asked if he could hold off until September, so I could complete my move/home update. In September, he sent me a box of 26 pipes and another box of 11 for me to keep for the service.
I didn't really have time to get to them until the first week of October, and then I tried to get eight done per week. They were all in pretty decent condition with some bowl top issues and oxidized stems the primary issues. I finished the last this morning, and they'll be heading back to Ryan in the AM. My fingers are definitely tired of gripping sandpaper and stems!
There were a few brand that I'd never seen before and the breakdown was:
Petersons - 10
Two Dunmore's, I've not seen this finish before
Comoy's - 2
Deluxe & Tradition
Bertram 50 grade
Charatan - 4 (275, 2502, 483DC, 210DX) The Charatans with shape numbers are always smaller and right up my alley
BBB 307
Invicta (not worked on this brand)
Butz-Choquin
Tilshead - 2
Tinder Box
James Upshall P
Fisher (brand that originated in Germany)
Tradition that didn't make the group shot
