A Medley (no shape number) I bought unsmoked. It took forever to break in, but it's a nice smoker now. The only thing that feels kind of "secondy" about it is the stem, which isn't near as nice as the stems on my GBDs.

Restored this unusual GBD last week, a shape 519 Sieur finish. I've never seen this shape or finish before. It has a pre-Cadogan COM. I found no other Sieur's on the web, but a mention in Pipedia only.



Another unusual finish, a Sierra Shape 549. An almost Sea Rock like finish.

My recent finds in an Antique shop.

GBD extra 1908
BBB 1909
And not to date GBD extra with a gold(coloured?) Band. I think, because of the mouthpiece it should be around 1910/1920

Score! Those are some nice old pipes, in pretty fine shape for their age. Are you going to clean them up yourself or send them off to be done? Three old pipes in one stroke, how lucky are you?!

 

[sandollars]

Good haul!

Very cool - can you post a close up of the hallmarks? (camera phones now take excellent close-up shots)

Thanks! Yes, and I got them for a song! I try to brush them myself. Will post some photographs if they are finished.

I had previously done a very poor job on this Jameson's stamped/painted stem logo. This
evening, I re-did the logo,this time using white gel fingernail polish. This material has proven to be far more durable and easier to work around than White-Out, model paint, etc.
