Haven't had a chance to clean it yet, but this Westbrook is in great shape.

Somehow browsed the auctions and found a rare bird, couldn't pass it up. A Wally Frank with Briar extension clearly made by Butz Choquin and in one of their oldest shapes, which I like. Looking forward to this one.

I ended up winning the auction for a Comoy's everyman 534 this morning. I've been wanting a smooth companion to the blasted one I have and I've also wanted an everyman (I like the 3 bar logo on the stem)

Probably had my best score ever today.. I just found this unsmoked Orlik De Luxe at the local flea market for $5.

Okay, this was a trade, I would not/could not spend this kind of money but was somehow able to barter a deal and couldn't pass it up, here's the result. One brand new Radice Rind with faux bamboo and one tub of SWRA, thinking these two will get along nicely.
