Found a new flea market and scored pretty big today.
I was walking by a booth and saw an ashtray with 4 pipes in it. Three of them were Kaywoodies and Dr Grabows (nothing wrong with them, but I have a lot of those) but there was one that caught my eye. The Comoy's billiard on top has barely been smoked and has a beautiful grain.

As I picked it up and was walking away from the booth, the owner saw me and told me she had another nicer pipe in a display case across the store. We went over there and the bottom pipe, a Lorenzo was there. I'm not familiar with the brand but it's a really cool pipe and seems well made.

Total price for both, $28.50. I think I did pretty darn well and am looking forward to enjoying these.

Those are some great looking pipes. Sounds like it was worth the trip.

Congrats on the pipes Paul. The search is a big part of the fun.

Thought I'd just add this here rather than start a new thread.

I hit up an estate sale today because I saw pipes and pipe racks in the photos.

The pipes are nothing to write home about, mostly Kaywoodies and Yello Bolles (most in fair to poor condition), but the racks are really nice and the price was right.

I've got more storage space for display and something to spend some time on cleaning these up and repairing some stems.
