Researching old pipes.

[Badkarma]

Other than a Google search, where's the best place to look up older pipes?

I picked up this old pipe last night on ebay:

Found a couple that look similar, but none that were smooth.

sorry restoration rather then research is my area.


Great buy though!
It is one beautiful looking pipe though, wish they had pipes like that on ebay UK.

The same seller had 5 pipes and they were all ending at the same time. I was fighting with another buyer and for the last 2 mins it was a bidding war. I lost the one I really wanted but this little number I nailed at the last second. 12.53 shipped!!!

I've been reading your posts on restoration and I'm going to be doing this alot I think, thanks to Gil and Joel and Bob.

Maybe we could offer it as a service to Club Stogie members only? We could call it "Reclaimed Puffers", yeah, I can see it now................ or not!

wow thats a great price!

i have already offered my services to CS members who would like their pipes restoring.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Puffing Marvelous!"

unfortuantely due to my location a lot of people would rather get their pipes resotred by someone in the US.

Dunno what that is but it really looks like a nice pipe! One of my favourite shapes.
