I was driving by my local Goodwill store the other day and thought I might stop to see if I could find an old serving tray to use for holding all of my stuff when I dry tobacco, fill pipes, etc etc, and low and behold, what do I see on the shelf? A 24 pipe Decatur pipe stand! Price? $3.94 (minis 20% because it was veteran's discount day, Ha!) It was a bit dirty and dingy, but I got it home, washed it off with some Murphy's Oil Soap and hit it with some Orange Glow to polish it up. I have to say, it looks pretty darn good. Alas, none of the pipes that may have gone with it were around, but none-the-less, I am pretty darn happy with my less than four buck haul. BTW, this is my 500th post and I am a Full Member. You bastages are going to have to respect me!  |

Excellent find. I did get a few pipes from Goodwill online a few years ago for a steal. So keep looking.

Double congratulations. You never know what you can find in those places. Always worth a visit just in case someone dies and their stuff is donated.

I'm hoping to find a load of Dunhill pipes for a tenner that I can flog on ebay.

Bastages huh? You must be a friend of Johnny Dangerously. Nice find though, and I suppose every now and then some fargin icehole will find a good deal. But for now, respect!

Nice work, Jim, and nice find. I have one just like that... but I paid considerably more for it!

That was a great deal!
It would have only been better if they had two of them.
Congrats!

Goodwill is a great place to find smoking supplies. Auctions online every day. Nice find Sir!

Now you just have to fill it up. It is full already (it does have a couple of pipes that I bought to restore but haven't gotten around to yet.) I don't have a "man cave" or smoking den in the house, so I am looking for a good place to hang it. Surprisingly, my wife likes it and is willing to let me hang it someplace in plain sight in the the house, so that's a plus.  |

That is a really nice one, the lower rack for straight stems, and the upper rack has open stem rests for the bent pipes....I have been keeping my eye open for such a find, nothing yet.

That is a pretty good deal. It would cost several times over that for the wood alone.
