Show Off Your Dr. Grabow Pipes Here!

[tuold]

Here's old beat up Starfire I found on ebay. As you can see it was in very sad shape, covered with dust, mold and mildew and scuffed up.

While I couldn't make look new it is now at least presentable and usable. Smokes very nicely. I also made a new spade emblem with white enamel paint and superglue.

Mark,your bent Grabow is just simply a Dr. Grabow and is of fairly recent manufacture. The shape of that pipe is either 37 or 47 depending on size. 47 is the largest of the two.
tuold,nice job on that Starfire pot!

I have a straight smooth Westbrook with a saddle stem on the way.

Two new Grabows join the collection.
This really swell Starfire No 38:

And this newly refurbished Supreme:

I also just got my first Savoy, a push stem with a metal stinger which I'll be cleaning up tomorrow.

Bagged a "mystery pipe" off ebay which turned out to be a Belvedere. It's only my second Canadian.

Here's the other side next to my also new, Savoy.

I just finished refurbishing this Dr Grabow Westbrook. I'm not sure of the shape number. I checked the charts and couldn't quite find a match. It must be Continental shape though....

 

[jpmcwjr]

Both nice! Congrats!

 

[ejames]

That Westbrook is an XO-8. XO numbers were used for the coupon Continental pipes. Non coupon pipes in that shape are 42's.

 

[tuold]

Thanks, ejames!

 

[danielplainview]

Nice score! I've always liked that shape.

Squeezed in one more Grabow refurb before the end of the weekend. Here's what I think is a sharp looking Viscount. I like the triangular shank.

 

[ejames]

Nice Viscount ! I like the triangular shanked pipes.

 

[ejames]

I finished these two today. The Emperor 48 I refinished,the Viscount 39 only needed some oxidation removal and buffing. It is unsmoked. The Viscount is the one with the pointy bowl bottom.

 

[danielplainview]

Ed , those are beautiful ! Wicked grain. Nice work.

 

[ejames]

Thanks Dave !

 

[tuold]

Both are beautiful pipes! Something about the sharp heel and the upswept rim on the Viscount I like a lot.

 

[ejames]

Thanks tuold ! This profile shot gives a better idea of what the 39's look like.

Picked up my second Dr Grabow today, marked Belvedere and has an orange spade on the stem.

I've also started to gather a few of the color variety, trying for unsmoked or very lightly smoked.

I'm waiting for delivery of three more, a red bulldog, blue billiard and a red billiard.
