Smoked and refurbished (estate)
System
pipes
Unique
collectors' item with a history !!!
Quiet
Comrade.
For
the hardcore, dedicated collector of system pipes:
this is a unique pipe-set, smoked by Elie, and
refurbished. It was the start of a collaboration
with the last machine worker of Mech Tech Inc.,
makers of the Quiet Comrade before closure of the
business. Bodies, system mouthpieces and
briar blanks were available, but no bowls.
The attachment system at the bottom was very hard
to replicate, and many people told me that I
wouldn't succeed. But I did. Many of
the original bowls came back to the Mech Tech
factory, or the pipe was thrown away in those
days, because the cone and the bowl broke
off. I improved things, and in all those
years, not a single one was returned. (Still
proud of that) A few hundred bowls in total
have been made for my website (Elie's Comrade and Kool Comrade) and for the
machinists' eBay shop (Quiet Comrade Special
Edition). Now that I'm getting older, I want
to transfer this piece of radiator pipe history to
a dedicated collector.
This
set consists of:
-
A refurbished original (reinforced) Quiet Comrade,
smoked by me.
-
The original box.
-
The documents that were provided with each pipe.
2
are originals, 1 is a copy.
-
An original briar blank, as used by Mech Tech Inc.
to make bowls.
-
The first attempt to make a new attachment system
(right side bowl).
-
The first bowl with a copied and improved
bottom-cone.
The
wood has a crack in it, but can be smoked if
wanted. Olive wood.
6mm
filters are available here.
This collectors' item:
only €85,00
There
are several other estate system pipes of various
brands on sale, but pictures still have to be
made.
