|
|
This little Savoy I have refinished--twice!! Was giving it a final buffing before waxing it when the buffer grabbed it and slung it behind the water heater. Soooo,I had to re-sand,re-stain and re-buff the **&* thing. When it hit the floor something was embedded in the briar which left a tiny pit,could have sanded it out but did not want to take off that much more wood. It has one fill that I can see. After staining I can not find it.Cleaner is missing. Stem is very nice and shines like glass. $14.39(?) and I'll pay shipping.'If this one doesn't strike your fancy I've got a few more on eBag.

| I expect someone here will snap that up, OZ. It is beautiful, and if it was one of my favorite shapes, I would grab it. I'm tempted enough as it is. |

My palms are sweating - somebody buy it so I won't have to.
Hey Ed, what is your ebay seller ID? I looked at every Grabow I could find but didn't see a seller that looked like it was you.
There must be close to a record number of Grabows listed right now, over 250. Some at ridiculous prices. |

That is one strange pipe Ted! Got that crazy plastic stinger doohickey and the stem is made from some weird s&&&. It did clean up fairly nice though. The other WDC has a problem with the mortise. Had a heavy like wax on the tenon because of a loose fit. The mortise is lined with cork. I may have to take the cork out and build up with some filler and re-drill. _________________ The only thing shorter than my memory is a certain part of my anatomy! |

I agree Steve,there are a lot of Grabows listed including a bunch of new older pipes. Meer lined out the ying yang and several of the high grade pipes--Eldo's,Westbrooks etc. If I had a pocket full of money it would be like X-mas around here in a few days!! Barry's link will get you to my stuff. _________________ The only thing shorter than my memory is a certain part of my anatomy! |
