This made me laugh....pretty sure I bid on this very Wally Frank. Either that, or it was the "Buy Me Now" one waiting on my watch-list!

Great first estate! Looks really clean, and you will love that Wally. They are great pipes, a lot of them made by big manufactures for Wally Frank.

I may just have a Wally Frank of my own coming in the next couple days.....you know, since the Bulldog I wanted got away from me :p

I'll post a pic of mine when it arrives, sometime next week I believe :D

LOL. I think I was eyeballing this very same one as well...

LOL! Sorry Guys!
Boosting my confidence knowing I selected the same pipe as some pipers in the know. Don't like to be competing with fellow compadres though.

I ordered one of the Missouri Meerschaum's new churchwardens, The Wizard from MM. Just got it in the mail today but don't have time to post a pic because I am on lunch break.

I like my pipes the opposite of the way i like my women

old and dated

Its a old Fischer pipe
dated to be around the 40s/50s

I was wondering if anyone would recognize the avatar :)
I figure I'm part yooper. Mom's a yooper. I partly own a place up there. We get up there about once a year. It might be fun to get together for a herf when I'm in the D. Are there any cigar lounges around?

I recognized it, Bruck. I'm from here...

There is a pipe club that gets together on the first Thursday of every month at Don Yeyo Cigar Factory in Dearborn. I have been to two meetings now and they are a great bunch. There are also several other lounges in the metro area.

The PAD attack continues....

Took a stab at this ebay lot...seller had little to no idea what they had and the description was terrible....but I saw the Stanwell crown on one and a Custombilt-esque one so I took a gamble and won.

Turns out I was right about the Stanwell....it is a Royal Danish. The Custombilt looking one is a Fieldstub and the other is a no name "Silver Knight."

The Silver Knight looks like it has a little crack repair where the stem meets the mortise. That is where the silver band comes in...They're all filthy but I am hoping they all clean up well and smoke great. Time will tell. Probably will end up selling them to feed more of my habit haha.

LMAO! I remember the first time I went up to Jackson to meet my wife's family and they were doing the "hand map" :)
