On our racks we have pipes that we've bought online, from a B&M, or from a vintage shop that cleans up well, smokes fine, and is generally drama free.
I'd like to see a pipe of yours that tells a story, whether it be how you got it, something funny while cleaning it up, or some back story to it. I think that more than other objects pipes have a certain quality to them that gives them personality.
Here is a globe Meer from *about* 1921. It was for sale here on the classifieds and I immediately commented on how beautiful it was, but alas no spare cash at the moment. Another forum member, lets call him Tim, bought it and decided to gift me the pipe. I was staggered and grateful. It could very well be the most beautiful pipe I will ever see.
