Wanted: Ropp vintage 347

Mr Beardsley · Thu Jan 05, 2023 6:34 pm

Just tossing out a feeler because I know most folks here are into larger smoking pipes. So if one of you has a ropp vintage 347 (preferably Sandblasted) laying around and want to find it a new home let me know! Picture for reference, definitely do not want the church warden

I have one of those vintage Ropp’s in a bulldog shape. Great smoker but I’ve never gotten use to the horn stem. It’s hard. But, I keep looking at the 428B shape which is very similar to the 347.

Surprised your into horn stems @Mr Beardsley i’ve never tried one but heard they are pretty clunky stems

It's like the truncated 347. Cool shape but I want the little extra height

I can't help, but very nice Beards. I'm assuming it's lightweight?

Yessir! Not as light as their etudiant line, but lighter than average for sure

I have three Ropp Vintage pipes so I know why you're looking great pipes. Sorry I don't have a 347.

Which ones do you have Ron? Asking out of curiosity, not to try to con you out of them

I have a belge, a small hex billiard and another that I can't remember off hand.
