Default Just arrived 3 old American pipes
Some days Ebay treats you well. These just showed up:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320560529108&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Dirty, yes, but no cracks or chips. All they need is some TLC.

The KW is an old 4-hole stinger model with the stinger intact.

Congratulations. I hope you enjoy them.

Yep, it's amazing what a little TLC can do sometimes. I got an old Loewe from eBay a few weeks ago; it looked a little rough but I cleaned and polished it and you might think it's an almost new pipe now.

Very nicely done there! A trio of old American classics!

Very nice at a great price! I've often thought about a Cavalier.

I have a couple others and I really enjoy smoking them.

Have to admit that I wanted this one because it was a Weber. I've just recently discovered how good a value they can be as smokers.

Didn't Weber also make trade pipes for some of the B&M's?

From Pipedia:

Quote:
Beside that Weber - especially in the years after 1950 - was a most important supplier for private label pipes that went to an immense number of pipe shops. Alone in New York, exactly the same pipes were found at Wilke's, Barclay Rex, Trinity East, Joe Strano's Northampton Tobacconist in Ridgewood, Queens, Don-Lou in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn... Nearly all pipes for Wilke were unstained and many models, for example the "Wilke Danish Bent", could hardly deny originating of Weber.
Among others well reputated pipemaker Anthony Passante¹ worked for Weber.
Weber Pipe Co. owned and manufactured Jobey pipes - when mainly sold in the USA by The Tinderbox from 1970's - 80's. In addition Jobey / Weber bought Danish freehands from Karl Erik (Ottendahl). These pipes were offered as Jobey Dansk. Ottendahl discontinued exports to the United States in 1987 and in the very same year - obviously only as a ghost brand - Jobey was transferred to Saint-Claude, France to be manufactured by Butz-Choquin.
