These were all purchased in the last few weeks. Huge thanks to John @bostoneo for helping start my collection

And one more just cause its cool:

I will probably never smoke this but will take it on a ship with me to point at maps and shit when I need to be taken seriously.
Nice Moretti churchwarden!

I have to quit posting before you guys start hating me. My pipe luck continues. Bid on two lots on EBay. Both sellers were vague and unsure of what they had. The first lot had two freehand pipes I liked by looks alone with one in a Ben Wade box and the other in a Jobey box. The second lot looked like a bunch of trashed bowls with no stems except for four pipes in the lot. I almost didn't bid until I noticed a Dunhill stamp on one of the pics. Here is the pic and details are below:

Top left is a Preben Holm Private Collection with his signature stamp on the stem handmade by the legend himself. Clear stem on the right side was in the Ben Wade Prominence box but any stamp appears to be worn away. It looks like a Ben Wade but not a Prominence. Either way it is nice and I like it. Above that sitting on the red sleeve is a Dunhill Root Briar in pristine condition. I haven't dated it yet. Next to is is the bowl of a 1979 Dunhill Shell Briar. Unfortunately it has damage around the rim. Bottom right is a Bjarne Hand Crafted that I like that just needs a stem. Other pieces are an unsmoked Kay Woodie and a couple Dr Grabow pieces to restore. There was much more but it was all project pieces that need work.
