This one was around 40€ so why not and wasn’t sure if is prerepublic… win win situation
Being a fan of horror movies just had to get this unique Dracula Peterson pipe. Smokes bloody good! 
I've got alot of draculas. They are so cool looking and I get so many compliments on them. My favorite one to smoke is a sandblasted 87 which has the option of adding a 9mm filter which I occasionally use
My newly acquired 1989 Sherlock Holmes, Baker St Junior. A fairly uncommon pipe as the 1989 Junior run of Sherlock’s was fairly limited.
This is one of my faves. I finally scored one awhile back. The beading on the bowl is so classy.
Me too! I got one at the Chicago Show. I will post sometime tomorrow along with a few others. Had a GREAT time & met lots of Pete Geeks. Highly recommended!
Thats awesome. Wish I could have been there.

Do you know/If you know ... how did they do the beading ? By hand or machine ? Just curious. Beautiful pipe !
I'm not 100% sure but it looks like it was done by hand with an annular rusticating tool.
Now that I’m getting a mild case of PPAD I’m killing time eyeballing this thread.
That’s a very nice 53! My Kildare 53 is in good hands, and will be better than before when it comes home.
@Sobrbiker me too!

Having watched this thread for some time now, I realize that I've missed out on too many Pete's that I want, which some of our brothers have posted here.

Many of my favorite Petes were absolute trash on ebay, and I gambled that I could restore them. On the really great old pipes I'm finding that's the only way to get a deal other than mis-described pipes or large lots where a great Pete is 'hiding out'.@Sobrbiker me too!

@runscott , yup I would agree with your sentiment, I've restored a couple of pipes from eBay, with some decent results.
I'm talking ridiculous restorations that pipe-maker friends have told me were a waste of time. The way I look at it, I find an almost-destroyed pipe that CAN be brought back to look like it is just a worn pipe, with a crazy amount of work that financially makes no sense, and I still have a piece of history that I otherwise would never own. You wouldn't believe what that top-left pipe looked like when I received it.
