[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 124107"] Quality is so much just where you find it. I've had and given away or traded away a number of "good" pipes over 40 years. They just weren't magic. Kept ? Old group 3-4 billiards & bulldogs from lunchbox outfits like Peterson, Loewe, Bewlay, Parker and maker's seconds (Drury Lane, "Made in Denmark"). These are dynamite pipes. Their ages run from somewhere around 30 to around 75 years. With fine-tuned stems/airways by LL, they just dance with the tobaccos they're dedicated to (FVF & Embarcadero). If you're a guitar player, would you rather have a nice new Martin or the same model from the 1930-40 era ? New Les Paul or a '59 ? Same with pipes, IMHO. The last two I'd ever part with [i]might be[/i] "worth" $25 together -- both old Pete bulldogs that nobody'd look at twice. Quality is where you find it. :face: [/QUOTE]
