The long white pipe is repro. that ordered O/L because I was tired of digging up just pieces of old broken ones & wanted to see a complete one. The top pipe is an original & has a basket weave around the bowl but I don't remember any identifying markings & please don't ask me to show more detailed pics as they are in a shadow box that is well sealed. The old one was bought by an Aussie friend on his boat trip to St. Maarten years ago. He gave it to me because it was too hard to get it out of the box yesterday. Does anybody recognize the basket design?
Bell--, you sure are easy to please!
The long one is a Virginia Tavern pipe. A repo as you said. I used to have one in the box. Ya got me on the basket design.
OK, OK, fans! I'll see about opening up that shadow-box so I can see if there are any identifying markings & poste pics. When I make shadow-boxes that I don't think I will ever open, - I put them together well!
Would it be possible to see more detail please...;-)
I mention how hard it would be to open up the shadow box & along comes Inky asking for better pics. Penny knew I would do it for her & I will think of you every time I see the scars on my shadow box.LOL :,))
