Al, that Cavalier is gorgeous! NOS?

It would be really nice if we could somehow organize all these posts by shape numbers. It would make a great reference tool for everybody. Any way to do that SS?

@ Gloucesterman: I can't shuffle postings.
@ Daniel: that Collector was a project for a friend on another forum who I do work for occasionally. He never wanted it shipped back to him, and a few weeks ago told me to keep it. I'll keep it until he decides he needs it back! I did an article on it here, it was nearly unsmoked

I've been on a GBD buying spree lately. I've bought four this month. Here's some oldies but goodies.

@Daniel: Those are some great shapes and finishes.
Was anyone watching this one? Someone got a nice deal on a Unique (typically they go over $100).

You know it's a good day when you see this in the mailbox instead of an electric bill. GBD Virgin 789
The 1973 GBD catalog states, Virgin: Only the finest of closely grained briar is utilized for this exceptional pipe. Natural finish.

 

[ssjones]

Very nice, those Virgin pipes also color beautifully with age.

 

[gloucesterman]

There are some beauties there. I just want to know are you trying to corner that market!!! But it is so hard to pass on a good GBD isn't it?

This is my French GBD 9438 with twin draft holes.

You've been a busy GBD-Boy @danielplainview! That Perspex stem came out great.

 

[smoothsailing]

She's the only one I have and she's been to hell and back.Cleaned up nice and smokes fantastic.

 

[ssjones]

Nice job Smoothsailing! I don't often see a Sablee 9438.

 

[gloucesterman]

This is one of my favorite "weekender sets". They are GBD French Made 9438 Bent Rhodesians in the following finishes; Sablee, Speciale, Savoage.

 

[smoothsailing]

Thank you ssjones- I've wanted one for sometime but the price was never quite right this one came up cheap as long as you were willing to do some work and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.

 

[danielplainview]

GBD Supergrain 529. I believe this is a Cadogan era pipe but I won't hold that against it.
