A friend pointed out this catalogue on Ebay recently so we bid on it and won. It is a great catalogue with lots of information about the Boise, Idaho pipemaker and pipeshop owner, Thayne Robertson. It is quite a wishbook full of pipes with a broad range of styles that capture the imagination of a pipe man or woman. Jeff and I have worked on quite a few House of Robertson pipes over the years and have come to appreciate the craftsmanship of the pipemaker. Have a look at the catalogue below.


Hello, my name is Eddie Egelston. My dad was Dick Egelston, and I have at least one pipe made by Thayne Robertson.. I saw the “House of Robertson” etched in one and thought I should check it out before my garage sale tomorrow. Is there a pipe collector market?

Hi Eddie I am always interested in picking them up. Would you ship them to my brother in Idaho Falls?
