unusual & beautiful collection blunder -- have a great day
You are lucky to have these treasures. Love the bottom black one in the second picture. Beautiful pipes and find. Phil
Well the r'ass clot things them caught a flight to Australia Sunday gone. He gave them to me & I gave them back as I am lightening the load & the shadow box I had them in took up too much space. C'est l'vive!
ok blunderpuss (that ought to catch some eyes) -- have not seen new post are you traveling or having friends in -- miss you and your humor
Ep, you can't get rid of me so easily, though I think there those that wish so. My friend that died last month owned the property where I live. Kids & Ex are here & we are trying to get the place straightened out so they can rent their house out. I'm helping so only have time to scan CW & drop a few comments. I'm there if you just look. Don't look under v-asses. I have a fan???? You must be easy to please!
Great set of pipes you got there BB2!
Very nice!
I had one like the black wood with the tin top. I believe it was an elk though. I payed $45 for it at a head shop in Detroit in 1969 or 70'. Used for pot only... the lid was great to help keep it lit instead of covering with your hand! lol

Braveheart, I didn't think of that angle or I may not have given it back!
LOL... I believe it was from Germany. Probably worth more than the $45 I paid then.
The one on the bottom with the lid looks much older. Very Nice that one.
Braveheart, I think most of those pipes came from Afrika & the middle East. The Aussie who gave them to me was going to visit at home & I told him I was "lightening my load" & he could have them back. He knows his stuff & sure he can pick up a few bucks from them & they are out of my way now. I certainly couldn't sell them & were taking up space. I'm on limited time & it made no sense for me to have them. We are all on limited time so don't make an issue of it.
