Antique Pipes That Are Not Bulldogs

WDC Cutty with a ruby Bakelite stem. I'm pretty sure the stem is a replacement for what was probably an amberoid one. Pipe probably dates to around 1900. This is another one that everything tastes good in!

Such a real amber stem is simply just beautiful! I wonder why we don't see real amber stems more often these days (among high end pipes). I only recall the latest Peterson real amber short stem limited edition pipes, where Peterson were kind/smart to also include another stem for daily use.

I agree. I love a good amber stem. Only really see them on estates, and pretty old ones at that. I really want one, someday...

WDC Russian Silver scoop with a ruby Bakelite stem. Though pretty to look at, pipes like this are not fun to smoke. That metal gets HOT!

My theory at the time was that this was an old bog oak pipe. It certainly didn't seem to be briar. At this point I don't know. The stem was amber or it's analog. Nice old pipe. But I didn't like the flavor it imparted.

Another CPF Bakelite bent billiard. This one had been knocked around a bit. But it was a nice smoker after clean up.

It used to be unsmoked.

isn't that true for any pipe that has been smoked?

This is a really cool design. I enjoy how the diamond shank shaping continues up and through the sweep of the stem.

Also the stummel shaping is really well-executed. It's just good work.
