Digging through the drawer that serves as the island for misfit pipes, I decided to send them off to Mike Myers at Walker Pipe Repair...these are the pipes with broken tenons, or the Vulcanite was just kinda nasty, so they didn't get smoked. As I am prone to say because I am not a photographer, the pics do not do justice...all three are estate pipes that have been languishing.
The first is a GBD seconds made for Grant's Pipe Shop in San Francisco, a Corinthian shape 87...super crisp stamping...this one had a broken tenon Mike matched the stem perfectly.
Next is a BBB Own make 693 with a BBB sterling silver band, it smokes University flake that takes me to another plane.
Next is a Savinelli Capri Root Briar...the other two had snapped tenons this one (I believe was a restoration), had a toothmark and Mike asked me if I wanted a new stem turned...Mike is to stem repair to what Charlie Daniels is to fiddle playing, I just asked him to fix it....he never fails to deliver the goods...Yeah, I know the button is not in the picture, that is because of my lack of abilities, not his.
My target is to start working through the herd and sending him 3 to 4 every month for restoration or polishing, and the ozone treatment is always added, for what the process delivers, it is a great bargain...cheaper than Everclear and a pack of pipe cleaners...not to mention my time.
