If you like BBB, you MUST get this book. Absolutely comprehensive. 450 pages. No other pipe brand had anything like it. (Blumfeld wanted to take over the smoking world by sourcing EVERYTHING related to smoking). It's the "master catalog" from which retail dealers made their annual orders. Truly spectacular stuff for guys like us.

I picked this up on the bay not long ago...pretty and lightweight. (like my wife, heh.)
A favorite.

Yeah, it's crazy the range of shapes, sizes, stems, cases, etc. they produced all at the same time. I mean, truly insane, financially speaking. And yet absolutely magnificent just the same.
There are dozens of shapes in that catalogue that I've never seen -- in any condition.

Yea, after a good cleaning, she works well...as does the pipe.

Beautiful pipes guys.
Pitchfork, those two 1912’s are outstanding!

 

[saltedplug]

Gorgeous pipes. I've seen the extension of the silver ring down the stem before on old pipes but not since. When was this no longer done?

 

[dunstanhillwell62]

And a very nice collection, Dunstan!

Thanks, JoeMan, but it does pale in comparison to the old ones shown.
woopigpiper, a nice pair of boxed Christmas pipes.

Do you intend to smoke the Red Orlik.?

 

[Civil War]

Sweet pipes!

 

[achtman]

Here's a bunch of old BBBs

 

[achtman]

And another one that Piffyr restored for me not too long ago

 

[achtman]

And a Glokar from 1906 where the original stem was gone, and had been replaced by a damaged horn stem. So George Dibos made a beautiful modern stem for it

 

[achtman]

And one more, which is old but no hallmarks

 

[danielplainview]

Holy moly, achtman. Those are fantastic.

 

[danielplainview]

It’s tough to follow achtman’s posts but here goes. A couple of Own Make dogs.

 

[achtman]

The grass is greener....
Those dogs are gorgeous. I have never been jealous about other peoples’pipes but in this case I might make an exception.
How old are they? What is the stamping?

So many nice and collectible BBB pipes
I have only a few BBB's but my bulldog # 400 from the sixties (?), which I bought as a heavily ghosted and oxidized estate, is among the most muscular I have seen.
