Three restorations I just finished

[kf4bsb]

I thought I would share some pics of three pipes I just finished up today. Here is the funny thing about all three of these pipes, they are all from other pipe repair/restorers "junk" box. We all have them, a box of pipes we have required that we know we will probably do nothing with, but sometimes we forget what is in those boxes and what a little bit of work can do to bring them back to life. Sorry I don't have the before pics, but I hope you like these.
Here is a nice Thompson made in Italy




Here is a Dr. Graybow Savoy




Here is a nice little Jansen's pocket pipe




All of these were fun and I have a couple of more I am going to pull out and work on including one Savoy that I have no idea index up in the box. I think I will be putting all three of these up for sale.

Great looking pipes! I've got a Jansen's Oom Paul like that myself, but I believe it's a little larger. Yours is much shinier though. Enjoy! :clap:

It's nice to see when some folks reach a level of acquisition that makes them discard pipes and others pick up the ball and show them the love they deserve. Good on you

Good work. Interesting that these former lower level pipes, with some time and careful work, are rather classy pieces.

Again, thank you all. I just love taking these old estate pipes and bringing them back to life. It is very rewarding and quite therapeutic.
