Refinished Savoy PrinceThis 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. |

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. |

This pipe is going to EBAG tonight fellers. Hoping I mught get as luck as I did with the Golden Duke. That pipe set a record for me. Would have been nice if it had brought what that Berwyck did last week!! | ||

Damn....#81 did pretty well. Is that the shape of the future?.....ted | ||
| ozark southpaw |
Don't know about the shape of the future Ted,but it is good to see that there are guys out there willing to spend more than usual for Grabow. They have always sold for less than they are worth(all of them-not just my pipes) in my opinion. |
