Just got my latest Edward's yesterday. It's a mushroom stamped free form Apple from the '80s. I LOVE Edward's and now have 25 of 'em! :lol:

Having an after lunch bowl of Royal Yacht in an Edward's Squat doggie I got back in the '70s.

Out of 110 pipes I only have 2 fully bent pipes. The rest are straight or 1/8 th bent

Peterson made some of the nicest bent Rhodies and you've done some FANTASTIC work on that one :twisted:

The x'd out pipes were those sold when Dunhill bought Charatan the first time during the '80s. Besides just a single X they completly x'd out the name Charatan on some.This is the best explination/history I've found on Charatan: https://www.alpascia.com/moments/en/detail/81/charatan-pipes

Congratulations Kaitlyn! hope it all works out!

Namiki, Pelikan etc don't deal with guys who deal out of a closet. You really thought that? :twisted:

Now THAT was GOOD!!! :twisted:

As wood sculptures they are beautiful, but for me, their NOT pipes :twisted: :twisted:

Having focused on three shapes ( Bulldog, Pot, and Apple) for the past 50 years I've not gone in for Freehands ( except for Charatans definition of a Freehand which has usually been a variation on a standard shape) so I don't own one. I haven't found ANY Artison pipes made by ANYONE that appeal...

I'd only use it on the inside of the bit to clean up the accumulated tars inside it.I tried it once on an acrylic bit on a Canadian I had and it dulled the finish and when dry left the surface feeling sort of grainy. Had to take it over to a friends to use his buffing equipment to get it shinny...

And for that reason watch for a slight price increase with all the new Tarrifs being implemented on our trading partners worldwide! :twisted:

That's the main reason I don't like full bent pipes and Peterson's System pipes! :twisted: :twisted:
