This is a GBD Prehistoric 293. It may be my nicest wee pipe.

That 293 definitely gets my vote

A wide variety of shapes there, very nice!👍
What’s the bent army mount, middle left?
My favourite little pipe is this one, a Barber b line canted Rhodesian. Takes one stuffed flake of St. Bruno & smokes it with aplomb! I was so enamoured with it, a week after purchase I ordered another.

:) You have a fine eye , Sir . That is an old WDC with silver mount . The mouthpiece is round like a clay . They generally got flatter over time till they got to where we are now . Its one my mother got for me and its a special one

[This is a cool little eskimo pipe I bought a few years ago.
It was made by Umu a fellow kiwi was active on one of the Pipe forums a few years ago.
I bought a couple of pipes off him but this is the only one I have left, I gave the others away to people who admired them.
The cool thing about this Eskimo pipe is it fits flat inside my tobacco pouch so is safe to carry in my pocket skiing or climbing. It's definitely one of my favorite pipes.Image

Looks like the perfect pouch pipe, sounds like it's seen some amazing adventures too! There's something special about pitching up somewhere in the middle of nowhere and lighting up a pipe to enjoy the view with.

I like smallish pipes, especially dublins and belges, princes. Not tiny pipes, but things that are long and lean, I guess they would be considered group 1/2 pipes. Small chambered pipes that are still 5 or 6 inches in length.

My newest small pipe that showed up today. A Stanwell 7455 belge. And a comparison shot to my "usual" belge (under the harsh led lighting in the garage)
