Thrift Store Treasure

[SSGT.]

Picked up this roughly around 1924 KBB from a local thrift store for 60 bucks, smoking a bowl of Faulkner Flake as I type this. They sure made good pipes 100 yrs ago.

Was it in that condition or did you clean it up? Great pipe! I’m jealous

Thats the way it was when I bought it. I did a moonshine rinse of the stem let it dry flash point on roughly 180 proof corn is pretty light, packed her with some Faulkner Flake and fire'd her up.

Looks is where it stops. Peterson can only dream of making a pipe as fine as a pre-Kaywoodie

That's a pretty dang good find by thrift store standards. Can I ask what it cost?

I got it for $50. My wife asked why I didn't try and haggle, but to be honest I was too star struck to bicker over a few bucks.

Not bad at all. I wouldn't have bothered haggling at that price, either!
