The Show Off Your Antique Store / Flea Market Treasures Thread

Seems like @pappyjoe and others have been having some good luck around the antique stores and flea markets lately. Lets show our finds off here.

Ill start off with today's find. I found this beautiful vintage Savinelli Punto Oro Poker in box today. The price out the door cost me $20!

Im not even sure if its been smoked.

@thewanderingdude - I saw a Punto de Oro today also. It was $10 but needed serious professional cleaning and a new stem. The stem it had was chewed through and cracked.

This week I grabbed this nice Willmer for $15 at an antique shop out on the coast.

@Mangoandy Nice find, I bet that will clean up nicely!

In the past I have not really enjoyed going to antique stores and flea markets. Now that I have gotten into pipes, I have started to enjoy visiting antique stores. It has become an addition to my pipe hobby. I have a lot to learn. I have purchased a few estate pipes that I plan to learn how to refurbish. Here is a picture of two pipes I picked up this weekend.

Just picked this up today at "The Hunt And gather Market" a four-times-a-year craft and antique show in my area. I tried posting this earlier but the message required approval so I guess it got lost in the Ethernet.

Well here it is without the description a Kaywoodie White Briar Churchwarden. Don't know much about the history of a White Briar Churchwarden from Kaywoodie ... knew they made White Briar Pipes and Churchwardens, but haven't been able to locate any info on Kaywoodie White Briar Churchwardens. Curious about the age and rarity (if it is).

@ghostsofpompeii, wow man! Looks like an awesome find. I love the look of it. So you say it's a white Brier? Stained white, painted or what? I never saw one like that. You should do a smoke review of it after you dig up some dirt you can find on it and share with us. Congrats on the cool find.

@Hiker007 @ghostsofpompeii both look to be great finds.

@Corey562 It's only one pipe but from two views, left and right.

ghostsofpompeii · September 2017

@Londy3 It's stamped white briar but I have to think it's some kind of finish.

PhilosoPiper · September 2017

I just found this beautiful Castello at an antique shop for $65.00

motie2 · September 2017

Excellent photo work; really shows of the details and beauty of the pipe.

Woodsman · September 2017

They're all good looking pipes.

PhilosoPiper · September 2017

Thanks guys!

@pappyjoe this one is 99.9% going to ebay!

motie2 · September 2017

What is it? Meerschaum? Clay? Some kind of wood/briar?

Rshey1 · September 2017

It's Meerschaum, but the markings on it are so worn I can't tell anything else about it

Corey562 · September 2017

@Rshey1it has some nice metal work.

Corey562 · September 2017

And what looks to be a nice amber stem.

I found this KB&B pipe at a flea market. Wound up getting it for $5.00! It is a very old pipe since it has the ampersand as part of the stamp...

mfresa · September 2017

@KA9FFJ, that is a steal!

Corey562 · September 2017

Beautiful...

PhilosoPiper · September 2017

@KA9FFJ I have never seen a KB&B like that! Very cool!

thebadgerpiper · September 2017

@KA9FFJ That's a beauty! The shape reminds me of a calabash.

Woodsman · September 2017

@Rshey1 It Looks like a late 19th early 20th century CPF, at least in their style.

Woodsman · September 2017

@Rshey1 the CPF making was usually on the silver band, did you try to gently polish it?

Rshey1 · September 2017

Not yet, I didn’t want to mess anything up. It has a case With markings inside worn really bad as well.I’ll see if I can make out anything that says CPF. Thank you for the information

Found a Marxman (not sure which model, maybe the Regular Sherlock) at a flea market yesterday. Took out the stinger, but it needs a thorough salt treatment. Moldy smells currently come out of it. $14.00.

motie2 · September 2017

@mfresa -- And yet, it's beautiful.....

mfresa · September 2017

@motie2, yes, I kinda like it. Will have to get a stem guard so I can clench it without marking it up. Also, may try to remove a couple of scratches the previous owner put on it. Hope the salt treatment works, as the mold smell was disgusting.
