Picked up a bit bigger used pipe stand this week ( cool nautical ships wheel theme). Got the refinishing complete today. Came out decent, but I think it looks better full lol. So far the only issue is that some of the bigger pipes dont like to share space with a tobacco jar in the middle. No prob because there are too many jars anyway. I found a Nice Pampered Chef Wicker basket a while back ( Baking dish carrier) and repurposed it as a tobacco carrier, Keeps things a lot neater on top of the dresser for the good stuff

Humm... I see a couple empty spaces... guess I need to go find a couple more Petersons lol.

Also did some leather maintenance and cleaned up / treated several nice old dried leather tobacco and pipe pouches.

Figured while I was at it, I figured I start a little cleaning and polish on some of the pipes this weekend... ( they actually look decent to the eyes... only look ugly in bright light. Been meaning to do it for a while., Got my micromesh cloths, oxyclean, carnuba wax, and fitz polish ready. now just need to find where I hid my buffing wheels.

Ill be all ready to step out with clean, shiny smoke makers soon!

Picked up a new-to-me Peterson Rocky Donegal. (Early 70s Sterling silver band) Got it cleaned up and breaking it in with a Modern Whippett and some C&D Autumn Evening. Its smaller than most of my pipes, but its a comfortable small bowl smoke.

Picked up this pipe recently, it’s marked with “Partsch” with an eagle stamped as well. Appears to be mid 19th century.

Finally got brave and broke out the heat *** and did some stem bending (Unbending actually) Just picked up a nice Peterson 307 with what Ill call a mild 1/4 bent that really felt good. I had a couple other big 302's with a more drastic 1/2 bent stem. Im not a big fan of pipes that lay on the chin because I HAVE singed my beard because of that. Now they are a straighter stem and I like them mo better!

I have a couple of pre-republic Peterson Spigots.

Except for the baby I have a full set of WDC Wellington’s. The 9” jumbo will never touch your chin or whiskers.

Missouri Meerschaum used to make a cob pipe in the apple style. Back in 2000 - 2003 we had a 3 yr drought or so & they discontinued the apple because the corn cobs were too small in diameter. The apple was a favorite in a cob pipe.

There was an aftermarket finisher who was buying apples direct from MM. He was drilling out the bottom hardwood plug & fitting the cob with a magnet, then sealing & finishing the outside of the cob, stem, etc. He called it the Magnacob. There was a time when the interior of cars & trucks had at least some metal & the Magnacob was quite popular. I glued a small piece of sheet metal to the wooden rib of my canoes & kept a couple of Magnacobs for days on the river. Always kept one as a truck pipe also.
