Smoking paraphernalia isn’t something on our shopping list usually, but this collection of vintage pipes caught our eye at a recent auction.

They date from the 1950s/60s era and certainly have a strong mid century modern style about them.

They’re made from a variety of woods in lovely warm shades, Bakelite type plastics and metals such as stainless steel and aluminium.

They’re so good looking and tactile – More ‘Mad Men’ than old men!

Justin has been practising his smoking style in the mirror with a few of them – he looks quite tempted. It actually suits his big beard!

Drop us a line if any of them takes your fancy.
