Finally got my estate pipes in yesterday. Working on cleaning them up right now

[Tony78]

Three great looking prospects. Can't wait to see them cleaned and restored. Great find!

The top one looks like a Dr. Grabow Freehand?

[mooster]

A well-enjoyed Dr. Grabow Freehand! :lol: Don't attack that cake too quickly; take your time!

[Cool Breeze]

Sweet.
I picked up my first two just today. The wife and I wanted to get out of the house so we went to a couple of antique shops. I picked up two small briars myself.

I wish I would have taken picks but they're already sitting propped up full of salt and vodka. lol

masterson freehand that was over loved lol a dr. grabow viscount an a medico cavalier

i did the salt treatment soaked the stems in oxy clean an hand polished the bowls an metal. the finish on the masters is in bad shape, the rim of the viscount is slightly burnt an blackened the medico cavalier came out really nice

That's not a bad transformation at all! Nice work.

[Demuths1770]

the freehand was a let down, i was hopping i could get it looking nice on the outside but not the case for now. oh yeah forgot to mention i got all 3 in a lot off ebay for 16 bucks

[Branzig]

Woot woot!
