Thanks. I usually don't find tins in this condition. A couple look like they're right off the store shelf. Now, I need to find room to display them!

My mom was an Avon collector back in the 70's. I have about 4 pipe decanters, still at my folk's house. Not sure if I'm keeping those. Running out of room.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 8:19 pmAvon cologne in pipe shaped bottles was a thing for quite a while actually.

I found this cool antique shop in a little town 20 minutes from where I live. They had some tobacco related goods and the owner told me that there are pipes brought in pretty regularly they just didn’t have any that day. I didn’t even explore the whole place, like not even the whole first floor or the basement but here’s what I saw.
"Good enough" is a false idol. Beware those that preach its virtue.

Making some room in the former man cave for my daughter. I'm going through some things, condensing on shelves to make room. It's still my space but a storage area for her and the babies things. Well worth the sacrifice.
Anyway, I thought I'd share these pairings that have come home over the years.
The pipe smoking accordion player caught my eye first. Then I noticed how fondly he looked at his dog and his dog at him. So they both came home. Could you break them up? Reminds me of @SidStavros everytime I look at him.
Captain Black, what else would I call a pipe smoking black sea captain? Anyway, his sailing vessel, note the "B" was there too and the Mrs said it was coming home as well.
