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 Table 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 beauty from Tom Colwell is the trader. Eventually it was traded to Rick Osborn in a massive swap-o-rama that left us both better off.
