what is your latest pipe purchase

Picked these up at a local antique mall this weekend. I've never seen one of these in person so I grabbed both. The all aluminium one seems to be in a bit better shape even though it's not as fancy.

IMO that is the best pipe lighter you can get. I've been using mine for 5 years now. I recommend using a match for the charring light due to having to hoover the lighter for the initial light, but every relight just strike it and place it down over the bowl resting it on the rim. Enjoy!

You suck!

I've been looking for a decent nimrod with the box at the right price for a long time...

Well done!

The booth I found them in has regular turn over of pipes and lighters. They were both about 20 bucks. I can keep my eyes peeled for any more.

20 bucks..... (grumble grumble grumble)

Good score though! Well done sir. Let me know if you ever see anymore!

Sadly, PAD struck again this afternoon. In lieu of flowers, please smoke a bowl and hope that your PAD inoculation holds. This could have been you.

Title of the item was: Barling Pot

The title could have been: Barling Quaint, Pre-Transition, Regd on Stem (1936-1949)

Quaints are rare and highly collectible and more rare with the Reg number on the stem (earlier). Not a lot of solid history on Quaints (the name isn't from Barling, it evolved) but pipes with this type of carving first appeared in the war years. The probable story is that during the lean war years, Barling carved existing bowls that had some flaws. Given the reg no and the less elaborate carving I'd solidly date this pipe in the war years between 1941-1945 and that makes it rarer still.

I had no expectation of getting this pipe and as with all eBay purchases you need to hold off judgement until you see it but at the least, it's a pre-trans Barling smoker with the original handmade stem (in weak condition) for $67 and as long as my finances held, I'd buy it all day and night.

Yes, I know that I'm qualifying my PAD. I'll post further once the pipe is in hand (with porn). Have to get back to eBay, PAD is stoked!

Looks like that will put a smile on your face for a while.
