But the Labour Day weekend is almost over and I have time to work on at least one more pipe so why not this one. Maybe I just wanted a change of pace for a while. It is not a particularly tough restoration so I am not sure why I was dragging my heels.

I have a very strong suspicion that these are made by Mauro Armellini not only because they came in the same lot as 6 Armellinis, but from several sources on pipe forums. Overall in nice shape, pretty lucite stems, all well smoked but clean on the outside. 15 Tinderbox Verona pipes, made by Mauro Armellini I just got a huge lot of pipes, and these are among the nicest ones, sixteen Tinderbox Pipes, most of them bear the Verona name, but t is one Napoli, one Varese.
