It looks pretty sweet to just have a duck head there looking you in the eye while you're smoking your pipe.

Got a little something else today. 3 Denny Souers, a Bari Wiking and a Nording. Plus my P&C order showed up after 15 days.

I snagged a 14 oz tub of Carter Hall for $8.50 last night at the grocery Store. It was on the clearance table that they have. The tub was cracked, but the contents are fine. Tough not to take advantage of that deal!!!

That's an awesome snag Michael:-)

I am still in awe they sell Tobacco in the grocery store? On a clearance table no less, they barely sell cigarettes in grocery stores around me. :-)

Michael just lives in one of those cool states. Gotta love the Palmetto state:-)

We have a Brass Armadillo Antique Mall in our small town. For the last 10 years we visit sporadically and in all that time I've never found any pipes to take home. My wife has found me a nice pipe rack with a German ceramic jar and a second German pipe jar. On occasion there have been pipes that were overpriced junk or just plain overpriced. One vendor always has a few but his prices are beyond insane. Yesterday for the first time I found not one but 3 pipes to take home and restore. A Ben Wade Danish Pride with a clear stem. A Savinelli and a GBD. All in fantastic shape. I feel like I stole them and I got 15% off on top of that.

One 12 gauge and a 16 gauge for duck blind and pheasant shoot respectively.
Nice work Dustin!

Nice pick up's all around. I may have to finally pull the trigger on my cart at smoking pipes

Those are sweet Mr.Maduro. Can't wait for the KC Pipe Show in September.

Patrick, Mike T is a great guy and does spectacular work. Glad you had a chance to meet him. The stem on that Sav is pretty sweet too.

The Rad Davis and Mike Thomas are gorgeous! Nice work.

Messed up my pics but here is a Preben Holm Private Collection that I scored in a lot. I also got a lot with mostly bowls but a couple pipes had stems including a Dunhill Root Briar. I'll have to take another pic of that. Second pic is my haul from an estate sale yesterday. Another Preben Holm Hand Cut and a couple Savinelli, Stanwell, GBD, Custombilt, and Jobey.

You're grabbing some nice stuff! Good luck restoring these!

Thanks buddy. Learning everyday and enjoying it. Another thing is I am learning what to look for. You know the Dunhill Shell Briar I have I completely overlooked when I went through the estate lot I bought from. Luckily I reconnected with the lady and was able to buy the rest. I couldn't believe I had missed that. Now I have two Dunhills. Today I snagged my 4th Denny Souers dirt cheap because I knew what it was when others skipped over it. I'll have more pics in a couple days. I have plenty to keep me busy for awhile.

Snagged my fourth Denny Souers and a pretty cool no name Freehand. Plus a buffer for my estates. Missing a ring so waiting for that and a buff package I ordered.
