Ryan Alden Saves Cased Set of Irish Meers

[ashdigger]

Here are some Irish Meers that I grabbed up. The stems were broken and they needed some work. I sent them to Ryan Alden to fix. They are done. I can’t wait to smoke them.

The first pictures are the eBay

The green and orange stems are a nod to the Irish Flag.




Here they are. Ryan’s pictures



I’ll add to the thread when I get them in hand

Lovely set of Irish twins! Congrats!!

That’s amazing, hope this isn’t too personal but can i ask what you paid for restoration, just a ball park number and what he did? I found his site but nothing about repairs there. If not that’s cool.

Again congrats they look great!

Here’s a couple of my photos before I sent them out. Old pipes traditional had “buttons” of clay or something to separate the shank from the bowl.

Well, this pipes original “button” must have come out, because it appears to have a real button in its place.

I saw these pipes originally on eBay, and passed. When they were purchased I thought some sucker had wasted their money…well I eat my hat. Those are f’n amazing. One of my favourite of your Alden resurrections to date
