Most Eldorado’s were smooth or rusticated. Here’s a seldom seen blasted Eldorado.



NOS unsmoked Commodore

Patented Ajustomatic Golden Duke 69.

Wow! I've never seen grain like that on a Dr Grabow.

 

[danielplainview]

Mike, The old Golden Duke’s had some amazing grain. I didn’t do much to this one, just lightened the stain to show off that grain a little better.

 

[danielplainview]

Starfire zulu patent era Ajustomatic. I nick named this one Dr Grainbow.

 

[tuold]

I've never seen grain quite like that. It's like a Hubble deep field image. I believe I can see to the ends of the universe there!

 

[davet]

Gorgeous pipe, well done. :clap:

 

[joeman]

Dave, that grain is SICK. Not sure I have a Grabow to top that one!!!! Great catch and refurb.
Alex...your DG's above are fantastic...great collection you've amassed as well!

Here's an Belvedere I recently got. I was pleasantly surprised to receive it in unsmoked condition. Not much to do other than buff it back to life!

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

Nice catch on that Belvedere, congrats.
Dave?! That Starfire 65 never showed up, you mailed it right? Really nice acquisitions/work.

I got a couple of Westbrooks in over the holidays. Looking forward to trying them out.

Nice scores Mike. I like the coloring on those last two Westys.

@ Filmshooter
That’s a great looking collection. I commend you on your hunt for a complete set of Continentals. It took about 3 years for me to track down all 12. Be sure to show the new additions as you get them.

 

[danielplainview]

Now we know where you’ve been spending your free time, Mike. At the Piffyr school of refurb voodoo.
Awesome work on bringing that back to life. She looks great now. :clap:

 

[tuold]

Well Dave, here are some that have joined my collection these past couple of months. The one at the top may look familiar. :D

It's getting along fine with its poorer cousins.
