Unfortunately I have a wife who insists on wasting money on non essentials like food and clothing!

Got lucky recently. Attended an auction and managed to grab the entire Sherlock Holmes collection of 7 pipes and the original pipe rack. Hope to get them cleaned up soon and then they will be up for sale. I'll post some photographs when I get them cleaned.

Is this the one at Charing Cross? I've just unwrapped a pipe cabinet that they used to sell.

The strange thing about Marianne is that although she has been handled extensively - thumb polish on left cheek - she hasn't been smoked! Perhaps some French politician just used it for gesticulating a lot!

I should apologise for all the mess in the background - been unpacking for ages. The most surprising find was a beautifully carved briar. I believe it to be French as I think it represents Marianne - The Spirit of the Revolution. I cannot track down the markings or find anything about it so...
