My favorite 4 pipes - from top to bottom - 1933 Parker, two 1950s Dunhills, and the crown jewel, a 1918-21 Dunhill prince with original miltary bit. All are, as you might expect, terrific smokes.

It ain't like the old days, but it'll do.
Great to see someone keeping this thread alive. Great pipes. In briars, rusticated are my favorites, I love the feel of them in the hand. Better than worry beads.
I must find that Kaywoodie streamliner!!!! That is one awesome pipe! I want to pick up another Dr. Grabow and paint it satin black and have it pinstriped. I've always thought that'd be kewl.

A bit late in replying, but I just saw your pictures, Levallois. That blasted military bit Dunnie has fantastic grain! Lovely...
Nothing fancy here boys, one Peterson and the rest seem to be Dr Grabows. I bought the peterson and the rest were my grandfathers, given to me when he passed away at the age of 94.
Just picked this one up the other day.

This is my small collection
Hi everyone,
I'm an active participant in the Hats section of this forum, but thought I'd introduce myself into the pipes area. I started collecting them four years ago, and have sold about 40% of my collection, as I just don't smoke them often enough. I'm thinking of turning over a new leaf, however, and giving them some use again!
Here is my current collection (mostly modern, a few vintage). This is my first attempt at compiling multiple photos into one image, so sorry for the rough quality.

absolute beauties. There's something I really like about the shape, curve, and blast of the smooth-top one. Something similar draws me to Rad Davis' work as well. The closest finish I have to that is a custom I had made by Kevin Arthur (before he started to climb up the pipemaker's ladder) in his russet blast. It is perhaps my finest briar.
