Show us your Ferndowns

I’m currently bidding on a new Ferndown, will be my third if I win so pipes and pipe tobacco are very addictive for me but add in gambling? I’m screwed!!!

Great brindle stem work, band, panel, and shape! What is the nomenclature so we can categorize as this thread grows.

We’re you all aware that Michael Parks did sandblasts for Ferndown at one point? Ferndown - Pipedia - https://pipedia.org/wiki/Ferndown. I’m commissioning a pipe with him for about a year from now. It’s gonna to resemble that sandblasted Ferndown Canadian in the Pipedia.

I cannot afford more pipes right now but maybe one of you is interested in this Ferndown made Astley’s ASTLEY'S 109 Jermyn St. London by L&JS: Rare/clean 1995 - Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1184438577/

It does look like it has some rim char

Apparently, it’s just not that hard to find Ferndowns on EBay, I don’t understand folks who are willing to let them go at the prices I’m finding them for. This one just caught my PAD attention just when I thought I was out they pull me back in! I wonder how soon will be my divorce

 

[Ben.R.C]

Score!

 

[Ben.R.C]

So, just scored this pre-Ferndown, Les Wood!

You may soon need to change your username to "Mr. Ferndown"...
