I spent some time today, looking through boxes of old ,pipe related stuff...my t-handle reamer has gone missing ,and while I didn't it, I did find my old Kleen Ream Pipe Tool, 4 cork knockers, some cool old wood matches that look like a product of the Fifties, and two small boxes of old pipes.
Of the ten or twelve pipes i found ,I pulled out two roadies, one Wally Frank, and a chunky little Whitehall Jumbo. Both have twin bead lines and clean medium walnut finishes, and both will soon be back to work.
The final treasure was a carved bulldog, marked J.R. Cromie, an old boy with twin bead lines, a somewhat ugly carving job, and walnut stain that has darkened with the years . It has a screw in tennon, and after a few pipe cleaners, I fine it has a very open air flow. All in all a solid little pipe that'll make a fun project.
I'm getting ready to clean and ream about a dozen pipes anyway , so it the perfect time to work these into the line-up...it's been a very good day, but I still miss my T-handle reamer
