[Parsimonious Piper]

Parsimonious, it is true, I did love that pipe. I am glad it found a good home.

It couldn't have gone to a better person who appreciates these pipes.

Too cool. Now I have a piece of the backstory.

I love your pipes! I'm going to have to let you and Doug know the next time I make the trip up I-40 and maybe we can get together for lunch and a smoke!

I found out Doug and I both have geology degrees from the same Uni. He graduated just before I started grad school there.

Cleaned not restored, this little pot was in pretty good condition when I got it.

Another one I found in pretty good condition, this time with a box and for $33. I just love Bulldogs. Note the “Italy” stamped on the stummel…this would’ve been a later year, likely about the time Lee’s Briarlee sub-brand was also moved there from the U.S.

There must be a bulldog bug in the air! I certainly caught it.

That's a nice find too!

That bulldog is a nice find indeed.

Some guys like stingers and other guys hate them.

Damn, those were "seconds?"

I disagree. I think those are beautiful pipes actually.

seriously

How often do these come up for sale?

Rarely. I had had three. One I sold - to Parsimonious if memory serves.

Your memory serves well. It was a nice addition to my collection.
