Latest Pipe Acquisition 2019

Some woodwind instrument mouthpiece sans reed. Saxophone say I.

Isn't a saxophone really just a fancy duck call?

It's early days, but I bet I won't read anything funnier than that this year!
I'd rather listen to a dozen banjos than one sax...and that's saying something.

Here's my Savinelli 320 number 5; a Punto Oro Gold Smooth.



I am working on a 7 Day Set of 320s.
So far, I also have a Punto Oro Sandblast, a Fantasia Rusticated, a Marte Rusticated, and an Alligator Brown.

To what?

It looks like a fancy duck call to me.

In what seems to be an attempt to acquire a 365 day set of Starfire pots, I snagged another one for $11.27 delivered off the 'Bay.

Glad it was you that snagged that. I had the half hearted opening bid on it.

It told me I had the opening bid, but then later showed another user. I think it will be a good pipe. Want me to send it to you? I'll do it. I would not have wanted to bid against someone here at PSF.

Noooooooo absolutely not father. It will live a much more useful life in your herd than mine and I was happy that it's staying here in this group

Fixed that for ya.

This is an Ebonite mouthpiece.

Grats! I almost bid on that one, but pics showed what looked to be a hairline crack around the bottom of the bowl. It blended so well with the brush lines I couldn't tell if they were just "clean" lines or actual cracks within the line. Maybe it's a repair job? I don't know. I'd have asked the seller about it, but I figured I'd get some response like "I don't know anything about pipes."

Anyway, I hope this is not the case and you receive a solid chunk of briar.

We will see. I am a man who has a tube of superglue and is not afraid to use it.

Correct! Saxuhmophone! Look up Vulcanite mouthpiece and you get pipe stems, type in Ebonite and it's all music. Almost bought a bass with an Ebonite fingerboard but went with the real thing it was designed to mimic instead, Ebony.

I just went back and scanned the photos on full brightness and couldn't see anything that looks like a crack.

Awesome, so you're telling me I missed out on a great deal. LOL Hey, at least Fr. Tom got it. I'm okay with that.
Here's an illustration of what I thought I saw... arrow heads point to the bottom of what I thought was a hairline crack. I wear glasses for near-sightedness, so pardon the mistake.
