As many of you here know, I have EPARAD (estate pipe and refurb acquisition disorder).
Over the holidays I picked up a few more to refurb....
As you can tell from the pics above, 3 of my new acquisitions, the Petes, came with their own stand. But that leaves me with the dilemma of what to do with the other dozen or so once I finish em up.
Well as luck would have it I found a solution to my problem today while out knockin around.
Although the weather was warmin up, 65 today, it was raining off and on all day and thereby making for a sloppy round of golf if I decided to head to the club.
So...... I found my way to the local B&M, picked up some Fuente's, their pipe tobacco is sadly dismal, and spent a little time in their lounge enjoyin an Opus X.
On the way home I stopped by a few of the antique shops in Aberdeen.
Here's what I found...
A couple of 6 pipe racks.
They were asking $18 each. After a little time visiting with the gentleman that owns the place I left there @ 5 each or $10 for the pair.
All in all a good day.
Will dig out the Murphy's oil soap and get em cleaned up and start refurbin some of those briars and fillin the racks.
