So to bring those of you up to speed that haven't seen my estate PAD purchase thread. I purchased a Estate Peterson in the 02 shape. I came to find out it's a pretty uncommon shape thanks to ChuckW and unclearthur.
Folks if you ever get into a bidding war on eBay with unclearthur, he is a worthy adversary...
Anyways back to the story, there was a knock on the door this morning, and lo and behold it was the mail man delivering my pipes.
So I had said I would snap some before pictures before I started the restoration on the pipes.
First up is the Dr. Grabow:
It's not too bad, a good cleaning, and a reaming and it should be ready to roll.
Now the Peterson Premier Selection style 02:
As you can see it's been well used. It definately smells like the previous owner loved Half and Half...
It's gonna take a bit more work to get this one back.
