what is your latest pipe purchase

[Haebar]

Picked up this pipe tool at the Knoxville flea market today. Got carried away and paid $5 for it (talked him down from $7). It's kind of beat up but it's one I've never seen before.

Nice find, Tab. I would have took that deal anytime.

So is this proof of yours and @Tgs679 Escudo addiction?

Just got this 1960s Kaywoodie to restore. I absolutely love the look of this type of bent bulldog. It'll take some work but the flaws appear to be surface-level only.

I've been looking to add another Giancarlo Guidi made Mastro de Paja (1972 to early 1982) for some time. This is a 1979, with the old logo (Mastro de Paja in block letters inside an elipse) and during Giancarlo's era they were usually (always?) marked with the year of manufacture. Before 1975 the quality could be inconsistent but by the time that this pipe was made they were the virtual equivalent of the early Ser Jacopo (silver around coral logo) pipes.

Pretty radical bent (for me ) but a nice bowl, good size and looks to be in great shape. $49.99 but shipping (from Italy) was $17.00.

When it's $7.50 a tin it's time to stock up.

Hi Ropey,

I came across this Kaywoodie rhodesian that I thought you might wish to look at:

It does need a good clean but it seems sound otherwise.

Thanks for the link, think I've heard of those being called Bull Moose pipes?

Bull Moose and Bull Cap are (classically) straight pipes. The Moose is heavier and usually a taller bowl. The Rhodesian is similar to a Bent Bulldog but it has a rounded bottom (as in this pipe). The straight counterpart to this pipe, properly, would be a Bull Moose. I don't know that anyone would mind if you called this a Bent Bull Moose.
