My wife was in town today and ended up at a couple of yard sales. Knowing it's my birthday next week and how I love pipes, she grabbed me a whole box of them. While I haven't had time to sort through them yet, I recognize a few just from the pics ... DRG Omega, Kaywoodie, Medico, Longchamp, etc ... Some have the stems and some do not ... lots of research and cleaning for next week!    |

Thanks, gents! Mark ... I'll find out who made that one tonight and let you know. BTW, the pipe-rest bowl that top pipe is sitting in says "Dunhill, Made in Italy" on the bottom. |

Also found ... Hardcastle, Comoy, Kaywoodie, Medico, Grabow, Longchamp and others with nothing but country of origin or no markings.

That Longchamp must be the leather clad pipe. I have a Hardcastle, and it is a really good smoker. Interesting history. pipedia.org/wiki/HardcastleThewife did well, they look like they are all in pretty decent shape. I took a lunch at an antique shop yesterday...all I saw was heavily abused briars that were priced ridiculously. There was a cased Bulldog meer with a gold band and nice looking gold band around the rim....the only problem, the stem looked like it busted in half and it was taped together....They only wanted $55.00...  |

I too am looking for some fixer-uppers to practice my restoration skills on. Any ideas as to where to find them?

That's a lot of miles...is that typical for a bike like that?

It is ... Goldwings have very reliable, large engines. I've heard of guys getting 200,000 to even 300,000 miles.

Here are four I picked up this weekend, sadly, my wife did not buy them for me.  |
