After church, I decided to hit the local Thrift America to see if I could find any pipe smoking memoribilia. As I walked down the aisles I found a pipe stand that was missing the glass container for tobacco and only held 4 pipes. As I looked further down the aisles, I found this little gem for $6.99. It is a walnut pipe stand with a very clean container/humidor. It even had the acrylic piece labeled "Old Faithful Moistener" which is fastened under the container's lid with a screw. This stand holds 6 pipes (3 on each side) and is in excellent shape. It still has the manufacturers label underneath the stand; Fairfax Mfg. Co., Fairfax, MO. The dimensions are: 6" heightl, 10.75" length, and 5.25" width. When I brought it home I took a rag and cleaned it up...viola! A new pipe stand!! This pipe tobacco memoribilia now replaces a box which I used to store my pipe. Not too shabby for a thrift shop find! All that runs through my mind is Macklemore's "Thrift Shop" song...what, what, what?!
