Well for once luck was on my side today. Long story short, when my wife & I bought our first home 3 years ago we ended up with one of those shitty sub-prime mortgages and we’ve been fighting to keep our home ever since. Well about a year after moving in things went from bad to worse. My wife lost her job, was injured in a slip & fall and had to have surgery to her knee and we were behind on the mortgage. To try and keep food on the table I ended up selling most of my pipe collection including about a dozen Boswell’s which as most of you know is my favorite maker. There was one gentleman who bought 9 of them from me in one shot. Well while I was searching e-bay for Boswells lo and behold there was one of my pipes and not only any pipe but my very first Boswell that I purchased new back in 1993. I contact him and found out that due to personal troubles he was selling most of his collection.
After some negotiating this morning (more like begging) I’m getting that pipe plus 2 more that I sold him back. I can’t tell you how happy I am and how grateful I am to him for selling them back to me. Here are the original pictures that I took for e-bay when I sold them:
