The 2003 Chicagoland Pipe Collector Club's annual show was again bigger and better than ever. Generally thought of as the premier pipe show in the nation and, according to some, the best in the world, I always come up with a pipe or two for the collection. This time is the first show where I got nothing to fill a blank cell on the Tables of Colors and Shapes. However, I did get five pipes, four of which were duplicates and went directly to the Pipes for Sale page and one which will join the Pipes for Trade page. This one from Tom Colwell is now for sale. It has been smoked a lot but well maintained. The paint is very good. The mouthpiece has some light toothmarks but no dents or holes. The bowl liner has been improperly cleaned, but is not heavily damaged. Sal Vitello decided to add it to his collection of smokers.
