Well 2 more great pipes from ssjones/Al, a gbd ranitan, an a odd one a gold star. maybe if Al reads this an he happened to take a couple photos he might post them for us. I'm a caveman an know hardly any thing about that kind of stuff, I can barely type. Thanks Al These 2 beauties have found a good home.

Al is the best!

I hope you enjoy them for many years!
The Granitan took a little work. I'll do a proper write-up over the weekend, but here's some before & after shots.






The City DeLuxe was in much better shape. Its an odd shape, no number and one I've seen before but I can't recall when. This one is stamped "Gold Star" and has a solid brass star. No twin-bore stem (which I consider a plus) and a Reg Number that didn't yield any information. It is also stamped "Jollyboy" and I cannot find a reference for that name.

Great job on those clean ups

Thanks Al; For the pipes and the pictures.

I've never seen a pipe like the Jollyboy. That looks like a conversation starter for certain. I would imagine great difficulty in passing a cleaner from stem to bowl, but, what the heck?...we can make allowances for individuality.

Nice pipes from a nice guy!

The one with the star is the bomb!

I need to get member huntertrw on that Reg No, he's a pretty good historical detective.
