So a friend gave me his Dad’s old pipes from back in the day. About 30 or so. When he first gave them to me I just glanced at them and spotted the usual suspects in a pipe rack from the 60s-70s.

So I went back to them this morning as I am slowly cleaning them up and to my surprise found this nice Parker.

It’s like finding a $20 in an old coat pocket.

Very nice find! Parkers are good smoking pipes. Good wood.

Thats awesome. I love old pipes, especially the hidden treasures that come around from time to time.

Ruff, if you want to clean it that’s cool by me. I’m not good around the logo stamps. Of course Fr_Tom will have to vouch for you......😁

That’s funny, and I don’t care who you are.

We could raffle off chances to clean this pipe. It would be a fundraiser. 25 chances, total. 3 bucks a ticket. I'd buy two.

No. We are making this up as we go along. There is no joke on you. Honest. We're just good-naturedly joshing around.

It is a very nice pipe. I don't really want to pay six bucks to clean this pipe but it really is a prize. :king:
