This Weeks Junktique Scores

[lifeon2]

Once again my favorite junktique shop comes through. There is one shop I stop by pretty frequently and the owner has started setting the pipes he gets in aside for me
Left side yello bole marked honey cured briar

Right side an unmarked briar with a corn cob liner

middle top to bottom a custombuilt with a stem that fits but is pretty obviously from a different pipe, a briarworks bear head that I wasnt to thrilled with until I smoked it, a cool metal pipe that I need to browse smoking metals to I.D., lastly an RBC meer from the early 1900s in fantastic shape.
Not bad for 40 bucks.

Congrats - some fine looking pipes you've got there.

 

[ghost]

Very nice! I think I'll hit my "junk" stores today...

 

[gmwolford]

That is a great score! I especially like the two on the bottom, center!

 

[vabriar]

Lucky you. That's great that you have a relationship like that with the owner. Not a bad buy for $40.

 

[bigboi]

junk store time!!! Thanks for the reminder!!

That rbc meer is absolutely breathtaking...drool, drool...great score for you!! :clap:

 

[lifeon2]

Yeah it is may favorite from this set. I was smoking it yesterday and a buddy of mine informed me that I was under dressed for the pipe.

I work with a guy who runs an antique shop. This will result in my frequent and annoying querying him about pipes...lol. You have inspired me! (This could be an early symptom of PAD? Week)

 

[mirain]

Good haul! That meer has a beautiful patina. Try as I might, I've never had any luck trolling antique stores for pipes.

:worship:

lastly an RBC meer from the early 1900s in fantastic shape.

Wow!

 

[oldman]

I seem to only find things in antique stores when I'm not looking for 'em. :wink:

 

[ghost]

I struck out in my trip today, it's all part of the hunt. Maybe next time I'll find a treasure.

I think a standing deal with the proprietor is the only way to do this, since otherwise I find zero-nothing-nada from one

year's end to the next. I commend you on your "take," and suggest you keep your source top secret. I see I have to

buy some antique shop owners some coffee and glazed donuts, or something. And, as someone mentioned, drop them

a twenty every six months if they produce.

 

[lifeon2]

Yeah the wife and I hit this one often enough that he has actually left to run an errand after telling us "I need to go for a few keep an eye on the shop" :D

 

[cigrmaster]

Congrats on your great score, have fun getting those pipes pretty again.

 

[fnord]

Great score, pal.
It's finds like yours that keep a lot of us walking back through the doors of those shops.

That is an excellent score. I got my pipe rack at an antique store that I didn't even plan to go into. I just had the time one day and picked it up for $17. It came with a Yello Bole pipe
