Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of Watch City Old Black Magic in a 1970s slight bend smooth Danish Sovereign XXX 309 with a flat front sitter with a black vulcanite stem.

You might see more of that if I was posting all of my smokes. I don't do that because it's too much.One of the things I find interesting is seeing a pipe in a shape I have or have had, but maybe in a different series. For instance, I have this pipe marked Scandia, and in a very pleasant brown sandblast finish; mine is stamped 709. Also, Jim's Peterson Milverton shown earlier. His is a smooth finish; mine is a dark sandblast.
That's a real beauty. Looks like an early 1900s pipe.A little ODF in the only pipe I have that was my dad's, marked Frank and French Briar. The original stem disintegrated; not sure if it was amber or just some early plastic material. I had the replacement made along with a new bone screw. In truth, I never saw my dad smoke it; he was an unfiltered Camel and later a Salem guy; I expect he was gifted the pipe or maybe won it somewhere. I pirated it from his top dresser drawer once and traded it away for something (don't even remember what) but later feared the possible wrath and got it back somehow. The second photo is him on his honeymoon with his ever-present cigarette and his new Model A Ford, and his father's watch which I also have.
