I actually have had " Tough Call" hanging on my wall for years. Great artist!The one I have framed right now is Walk in the Country, and I have Freedom of Religion, and Gone Fishing. I also have his autobiography, "My Adventures as an Illustrator". Very interesting man.
You are correct. I had a 1936 SS80 which was the one with the Matchless MX/80 engine. I also owned a Brough Superior 680 with the Bentley and Draper frame and Castle forks as well as a Matchless G3LS from 1954 which is in storage. I have posted pictures on here before and I will see if I have any on this computer. They are indeed beautiful bikes but the brakes leave an awful lot to be desired. George Brough was a fantastic salesman who build a bike composed of the best bits of everyone else's bikes. Norton clutch and gearbox, Royal Enfield rear sprocket and Cush drive, JAP and then Matchless engines. The tanks were made from god knows how many pieces of tin and then soldered together and were very much the weak link on a very robust creation.Would that be a Brough Superior, if so do you have any pictures? One of the most beautiful bikes ever produced imo.
Thanks. I own 4 of the Sherlock Holmes series pipes, and the new 2021 POTY 4AB. One of those pipe stands would be a sweet addition. I'm gonna contact Peterson to find out how to score one.They came free with the 2021 Peterson Christmas pipes from Smkinpipes.com. Smokingipes.eu gave away Sherlock tampers with every Peterson they sold in late December too.
