[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 41026"] A point well taken and of value to everybody. Still, if you'd said maybe "nice" and "not so nice" maybe it would have been more [i]precise[/i]. Case in point : Just recently got another old-timey Peterson billiard. Group 3 size, made (guesstimate) around 1930. An example of a budget line that was marked "Peterson/Dublin" with a number (0, 1, 2 or 3). A "O" was tops ; the one I got is a "3." Its briar is, aesthetically, substandard by anybody's measurement and the workmanship rates "slapdash wretched." It's the cheapest piece of made-down-to-a-rock-bottom-price-possible crap they would put their name on. But it's a freaking great smoking pipe -- plain wood, fill and all. And stylish in a wry kind of way. And for $28, even "budgety-er" than the Stanwell. Sometimes, bad can be good. :face: [size=1]HOPELESSLY DECLASSE[/size] [/QUOTE]
