Couple of GBD 9438 eBay estates restored

Met a great brother on another forum who restores pipes as a hobby. Does a phenomenal job IMHO

Very nice! I hope they smoke well for you for many years to come.

Beautiful resto jobs on those! The smooth finish one is the first GBD I've seen with a screw tenon ! :twisted:

 

[ak2000]

No that's actually another stem from a GBD Meerschaum pipe he was cleaning up for me.

Impressive, Andy. Including and especially that first GBD with the brushed finish. Like to have that one myself!

The second one is no slouch either!

:rabbit:


Cheers,

Those are incredible! Much better of a job than I do! The bottom one I think has to be one of the most beautiful GBDs I’ve ever seen!

Thanks Zach, that's my favorite finish from GBD as well. I also have a straight bulldog GBD with the same finish from the 60s, my kinda birth year pipe

I'd be proud to own any or all of those. Hard to pick a fave.

Wunnerful!

:cheers:

Nice, the Rock Root 9438 isn't often seen.

 

[Corncobcon]

Those turned out fabulous! The smooth one is my favorite!

Thanks everyone. I find it amazing that someone would let such a nice pipe get in such poor condition.

Terrific work Andy.

So, you keeping them?

Oh yes, been looking for 9438s for a while and now I have them. Already smoked the meerschaum, great smoker for sure.
