I have begun to think my focus may be misplaced. Pipes can become an obsession, but, they're not much good w/o tobacco...TAD might be a better priority, and is developing nicely.
One name that seems to hold its value more than most others in production pipes of vintage manufacture, is of course Dunhill.
I chased one yesterday on fleabay not thinking I'd win. Imagine my surprise this a.m. to long onto the auction site and find I'd 'won'....got a bent blasted billiard #656....looks well used...including shipping still under $70.00.
Maybe now I can rest from the pipe quest and build up the cellar.
