A few weeks ago I posted about spiffing up one of my wife's grandpas pipes. It was a Darnley pot shape.
Here are some more of his pipes I need to work on.
Ive had these sinse 2017 but because Im not a big fan of these shapes, I have not worked on them.
But due to my rekindled piping hobby, im gonna clean them up. Not sure how old these are but my 47 year old wife doesn't remember grandpa smoking a pipe. These are all solid pipes.

Those are beautiful looking. And the sentimental attachment is even better. The Bulldog is my favorite shape and those are all greatly executed!

I forgot to mention that the second from the top was broken where the stummel meets the shank. You can see it in the picture.
I have no clue how long ago it was glued back together or what was used to glue it.

Nice pipes. I could smoke only bulldogs, billiards and Rhodesians and be a happy man

I thought Rhodesians had the round shanks.
