If I'm not participating much these next few weeks, understand that it's not from disinterest, but due to the recovery process.
Mr. E knows that I recently retired from working in the state prison system after 23+ years (far too long. Life expectancy in there's 58 ; I'm 65).
This sneaky so-&-so also knows that I have an incurable fondness for classic Britwood.
So today a box comes in the mail. Containing a patent-era Parker Super Bruyere Canadian in beautiful shape. Chamber's right at 11/16." A retirement present.
Dates to 1949 -- one year older than I am 8)
I suspect it may be joining a similarly old Parker Straightgrain "A" billiard in the "Favourites" category.
I don't know whether to shit or go blind !
MANY happy smokes lie ahead with this little treasure !!!!
No one can have too many great old flake pipes ! Newer ones can be nice, but it's pretty girl nice. Old Timers are the Nice of a happy marriage 30 or 40 years down the road. WAY better. Richer, fuller & deeper nice 8)
Thank You, Mr. E !
And rest assured : some day, when you're least expecting it . . . :twisted:
No pictures. I can't take them worth crap so you'll have to take my word for it. SWEET little pipe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
