[QUOTE="riff raff, post: 192643, member: 1771"] Thanks, I enjoy doing that kind of work. I spent about four hours redoing those two. The nomenclature is so faded on each, I had to be careful not to add any more wear. That Rhodesian shape (in GBD or the 999 Peterson), is a favorite and I was tickled to receive this one. It was also fun digging out the history behind them. I contacted Jerry Hanna who has a very nice GBD pipe information page and he was very helpful. The Oom-Paul, has a gentlemans name, "Ed Kollar" stamped below the factory nomenclature, but the gentleman who send me this didn't know him or the name. Jerry suspects these two came from Smokers Haven in the 70's (the Seventy Six, for certain in 1976) as they were one of the largest GBD dealers in the States at the time. These pipes did come from an estate in Ohio, so that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
