I messaged the seller when it was listed and offered $275, he never responded.
I put in a $257 bid and than a $273 bid, and got bumped twice. A non-ebayer won, wonder what his top bid was?

This The Guildhall 256 shape is at $53 with an hour to go, the bidders must have not noticed the big burnout spot on the bottom of the bowl...

Comoy's The Guildhall London Pipe Shape 256 Author Shape Pipe | eBay

It may be beginning to get thin from reaming. Three bar logo stem has an indent up top on stem and button. Stem is also a little loose.

Here's an interesting Comoy's. Feels like it would be from the 1920-1930's, but no COM or silver (Harrisons, Birmingham for COM)

I was watching the Sasieni but did not want to spend so much this month - so I did not bid

That old Comoy's, if not so badly beaten up, would be a very stylish pipe to have.

But there is also something a little mysterious about it. The pipe is an "Old Bruyere" grade, while the case says "Prima" which was a different grade. So maybe the case and pipe aren't original to each other.

 

[dmcmtk]

Good point Jesse.

@sablebrush52
I would be interested in your thoughts on this pipe .It apears to be from 1890?
I assume french turned bowl and Barling silver mounts.

Good for you Jesse.

I bought it and it‘s arrived. But I never noticed till your post that the case label included Prima. The pipe fits perfectly in the case and the shape is unusual. So it might be the original case despite labelling discrepancy.

The pipe is dirty but in better condition than I had expected from the photos. What looks like dents on the rim in the photos is mostly tar. There are only minor toothmarks on the stem and the stem looks original despite the lack of a 3 part C.

I‘m guessing 1920s from style.

I was watching that one Mike. That will be a handsome pipe when it's restored.

Couple of competitive auctions yesterday from Treasurepipes. His pictures still drive me nuts, but folks trust him. Ad says it was marked only:

"MARKED: COMOY'S EXTRAORDINAIRE 499 "
There appears to be a football shaped COM, which makes sense. Would it have brought more with better pictures?



This 499 has no close up of the nomenclature (or by the description, a lack of).

COMOY'S EXTRAORDINAIRE 499 CHUBBY AUTHOR PIPE | eBay

MARKED: COMOY'S EXTRAORDINAIRE 499. 1 PIPE OR ENTIRE COLLECTIONS. LENGTH: 5". WEIGHT: 2.2oz. MAKE SURE TO SUPER SIZE THE PHOTOS FOR A BETTER VIEW.

Only four pictures, but the nomenclature looks pretty crisp.

Talk about under exposed pix.... I adjusted the below photos to bring out some detail in the bowl, but you'll see that the stem looks a bit oxidized.

As you can see, there is no photo above. I cannot now embed photos, nor make any adjustments to text, embed links- all the editing tools are greyed out, on both Safari and Chrome. Has happened several times over the last few days, and I don't know what's causing it. Quitting the browser and restarting did not help, nor did rebooting the computer, (Mac, latest O/S)
