A Complete Guide to Collecting Antique Pipes

A Complete Guide to Collecting Antique Pipes (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
I got the hardback, older 1979 first edition of this book, which is a little larger physically than the new 1998 paperback book, the hardback measures about 7.5"x10.5" and has the same 256 pages as the paperback. The book is excellant, and has mainly black and white photographs, and a section 4 pages of color plates. The information covered is the standard pipe types, clay, porcelain, metal, wood, as well as pipes of various cultures, African, Native American, European, Asian, etc. There is a lot of great information, from restoration of old pipes, and a dandy bibliography that can take you to additional older books on pipes and pipe history and collecting. The portion of the book devoted to clays is really outstanding, showing a lot of great variety in clays that existed, and some of the photos of meerschaums are breathtaking! Highly recommend this book if you collect old pipes, or are interested in old smoking pipes.

1921 Morgan Silver Dollar

My first Morgan Dollar was an 1890 Philadephia coin. Not a significant value like the Carson City, but it was still was worth something. Anyway the 1921 is more memorable since 86 million were struck alone that year. The Morgan dollar is a great thing to own since silver is on the rise.

George Herman Ruth (February 6, 1895 - August 16, 1948), better known as "Babe" Ruth, also commonly known by the nicknames "The Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat", was an American baseball player and a national icon. Consistently chosen as the greatest baseball player in history, his home run hitting exploits and titanic appetite for living made him one of the representative figures of the Roaring Twenties. He was one of the first five players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and he was the first player to hit over 30, 40 and 50 home runs in one season. His record of 60 home runs in the 1927 season stood for 34 years until it was broken by Roger Maris with 61 home runs in 1961. He was a member of the original American League All-Star team in 1933. In 1969, Ruth was named baseball's Greatest Player Ever in a ballot commemorating the 100th anniversary of professional baseball. In 1998, The Sporting News named Ruth as Number One in its list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players " In 1999, Ruth was elected to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in fan balloting.......
