Speaking of eBay... Are Ben Wade pipes actually "rare" or valuable? Most of them seem to be freehand master-craftsmanship, but some I obtained (at lower prices) had a couple of obvious fills and were cheaper, though I paid almost $45 for one. (To a lot of people here, that's couch change. To me, it's part of my monthly budget, which I blew on an eBay binge last night.) I got one for a little less than $30, and I got (I think) a Danish pipehead of terrific worksmanship for only $15. Most of them were dirty in some way, but I figure this is my first opportunity to learn how to restore pipes. I think that's a good hobby. So are Ben Wades worth the effort?
