Take a look: are these pipes worth a darn?

[AndyCAYP]

I did but the only ones I found were 'system' pipes and I didn't want one of those. Savinelli makes a few 'spigot' pipes but IDK if they're also fakes. Plus it seems they don't have a straight that I've found.

Odd, I don't remember mine being a system. The stem was normal and I'm positive a cleaner passed straight through to the bowl without catching on a second hollow area. Hmmmmpf.

What do you want for it?

Heard back from P&C

...it appears the design was changed when production was moved to Italy. Unfortunately, the rep says all their Army Mount pipes now use the design you received. You will not be able to get a new Stanwell pipe with the traditional army mount stem you seek. If you are stuck on a Stanwell pipe your only hope is to look for an older Estate Stanwell.

D'oh!!!

Well P&C is good about taking returns - they send a prepaid label and all that. I still hate returning stuff tho.
Guess I'll peruse their site for a Pete...

Mine is gone. Vanished. Poof. Haven't seen it in a few years.

If'n you don't find what you're looking for at P&C, give me a shot at pricing out a Pete for you. Offhand I don't know how badly they're discounting the things, so I may not be able to compete, but you never know!

Too much money tho But it's exactly what I'm looking for and more

[pdq_wizzard]

damn that's pretty, but you are right it's too much, if my wife ever found out I paid that much for a pipe I would be alone the rest of my life.

So who's keeping score here?

Guys, report in, who bought which pipe?

I got this one, and this one, and this one and etc.....
My buddy called me yesterday and told me to come pick up a lot of pipes that he had. From what I looked up, I think several of these are called Lumberman's or Canadian as they have the longer oval stems???....

Technically, the canadian is the long, oval shank with a taper stem. The Lumberman is the same with a saddle bit (step-down).

You have a calabash, a couple of cased meerschaums, what appears to be a Savinelli Guibleo d'Oro lumberman (natural carve), a Hilson type leather clad. Couple of old gimmick pipes, etc. Great haul! Is 20 pipes right?

Can you list the nomenclature? I'm especially interested in the pipes at the top and sides (right and left) that have briar inserts on the stems. The pipe on the right (that I refer to) is the large freehand, part bent with the top of the pipe looking like it's mushrooming out. The one on the left is a tall, light angle, rusticated dublin (carved). I might be able to tell you something about many of the pipes but these two piques my curiosity in particular.

But that's not all.

I have a confession to make.

Hi. My name is Andy, and I'm a spender. I was in such a good mood when my wife and I found out the sex of our child that I reinvested some savings, scheduled another chunk of my paycheck to go into a "retirement" plan with an eye towards 18 years from now, and then I went and ordered this:



I've always wanted a L'Anatra.
