I've been making some replicas of the William Murray Clay Pipes I recovered a few weeks ago from beside the Forth and Clyde Canal in Maryhill. The original pipes were made in the Caledonian Pipe Works on Garngad Hill in the east end of Glasgow between 1832 and 1861.

If you're interested, the first framed set is available for purchase in the Partick Mini Market on Dumbarton Road in the west end. More will be available in the next few weeks.

For those who might be interested, I've just dropped off a new batch of frames with the handmade replica Odell's Tenement Latch Keys that I make at the @partickminimarket on Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. This includes this new collection which features some very rare key patterns, including two oval ones I've never seen elsewhere.

For anyone who is interested, I've just dropped a new batch of the limited edition frames of handmade replica Odell Tenement Latch Keys at the Partick Mini Market on Dumbarton Road.

For those who don't know, these Odell keys were used between the late 1700s and early 1900s to open the latches on the communal close doors of tenements in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
