Not sure of the age. Now I am unsure if I want to smoke them or not?
Does anybody have any info on these? A few have some minor cosmetic blemishes (small scratch). Most are nearly perfect condition, aside from a little oxidation of the stems. Came in original plain cardboard box and still wrapped in cellophane, which crumbled as I opened them.
Here is some of the paperwork that also came with them.

Wow! As a collector, this is what it is all about. NOS with paperwork? Flipping Awesome. :encouragement:Quote:

Really Really Cool Find! :encouragement:
Just ordered a 250g of FVF from smokingpipes 10% off today. I wish I had the cash to start a group buy for it but I have the SPC Miss. River one to fund because $4ish a ounce is a great price.
Just won an auction on Ebay for a Wally Frank bulldog. It looks pretty nice and I got it dirt cheap, ($16.50), but buying a Wally Frank is always a crap shoot because you never know who made it. It's an unvarnished pipe, so I thought it might be a Weber, but it has two white dots on the stem which I don't recall seeing on a Wally Frank before.
They can be a crap shoot, but more often than not I find that they're awesome pipes. I wish there was an easier way to nail down which manufacturer made which Wally Frank pipe. I know that Sasieni, BBB, and Charatan all were big time Wally pipe makers.Quote:

Got this group of Charatan's Make pipes:

Two are Canadians and one is a billiard. They have never been smoked.
http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psyrjiwfkm.jpg
Got them on Ebay as a lot. Made my day!
Got this mongrel pipe on Ebay too. It doesn't have any markings. All it has is a single white dot in the stem.

Any idea who made it?

My IPSD oreder should be here tomorrow. Perfect day, after golfing I will come home to some Lakeland goodies :D
I also just picked up a cheap Nording on "The 'bay."
As purchased:

Saw one of these on @Tony78 's cellar pic, and he directed me to an Ebay listing for a good price. Couldn't pass it up.

I only took the one pic, but on the back is a slot for a tamper and a slot for a book of matches. I'm not sure if it came with a tamper originally, but it is missing. The little metal tampers don't fit, but a golf tee fits perfect. It is very well, built, probably far better than required to hold a couple of pipes. The wheels even roll. Very cool.
That cleaned up real nice. Purdy!Quote:

My IPSD splurging, which includes our very own group buy.

I originally just wanted a cool single pipe stand, but I found this neat ashtray on ebay and got a better deal than I expected.

I picked up a Cobbit this week. The elf model.

I haven't bought ny pipes for quite a while (24 should be enough, or so the wife says), but I am seriously thinking about splurging and buying a few of Missouri Meerschaums new Cobbits.
A few goodies came in today. The pipes will be donated to some beginners.

Great buy @OnePyroTec ! Love those grab bags!
Here is a few tins I picked up off of ol' @TobiasLutz
I was supposed to be done with buying tobacco for a few months, but he threw the carrot out there, and I bit....not that I don't appreciate it :p

Thanks Tobias! You Rule Sir! :eagerness:
I picked up a birth year Caminetto sandblasted Dublin.

Thanks.
That Mississippi Mud is some guuud stuff. (not that the others aren't) What is the lower right tin?
I like these, but I can't buy them (or Christmas series pipes) because I'm too OCD and I'll drive myself nuts collecting back years and stressing about missing any in the future.Quote:
