A few highlights from my cob collection

[lifeon2]

Ok I didnt want to take the time to shoot them all so I grabbed a few from each style, era, etc.

Big straight and Big bent

Extra large and long

Miniatures

Square shank or corn dog the second one is my favorite as it is actually cut like a bulldog

Old display board being filled with random pipes

Just some unique ones

Older pipes from when they were a bit nicer

Some hard woods that you just seem to pick up as you go along

Really old and fairly unique

Bamboo shanks

Current or modern cobs

Cool bents some old some new

Three different freehands

Complete unsmoked custom grade presentation set from the 50s

Reed stems some redone by yours truly

Whit I like to call the 44 cobnum it had a crack in the shank that I banded with a piece of 44 mag brass I fit the stem from my box of spares and gave it a hard wood plug bottom

A custom piece made by a fellow called smoking dragon

A santas pipe not sure how old but Marylin over at MM guesses from the 30s or 40s

A MKII nylon pipe with replaceable corncob bowls, I have 3 white, black and brown.

Well those are the highlights hope you like them.

There's going to be a lot of guys over here
drooling over those cobs, especially the corn dogs!
Great collection, really nice!

 

[TallyCannon]

Wow, very impressive!

 

[Fatman]

Pretty nice collection, I have not seen so many variations of the good old corn cob before, thanks!

 

[George Kaplan]

That's an awesome collection, brother! I'm glad someone else is showing off their corn dogs. (Keenum's starting to whine whenever I show mine. :lol: )
Is that a leather-clad cob in pic #6? I've never even heard of that. Too cool!

 

[lifeon2]

That is in fact a leather clad cob I had to call MM to look it up in some old catalogs to make sure it was genuine.

Wow lifeon2, that is a fantastic cob collection you have there! You have really upped the standards around here, as I have never seen any of the BoB brothers post such a varied collection. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

[lifeon2]

I might have it after all there are about 50 more that I didnt post

:lol!: Don't get me wrong, sir. I'm truly impressed by your collection. I did recently pick up a little oddity, the likes of which I've never seen. I'll post a pick soon enough, but not in your thread. This one's all you, bro. Bask in the glory. 8)

Just joining the herd--great, great collection.

I've never thought of bamboo shanks on a cob--it works very well. Gonna have to keep that in mind if my cobs ever need a shank overhaul! I'm imagining one of the darker finishes on the Country Gentleman looking pretty sweet with black bamboo...

...and now my mind is spinning with concepts of "Pimp My Cob." :scratch:

Can't WAIT until one year when "corn dogs" will be available again. :cheers:
