Troy, you wouldn't bid past $67.66?!?!?
Dave!
:lol:
It would have been different if it was a Shell!
...but, I do have a soft spot in my heart for the smaller pipes and that one looks like it'd be the equivalent to a Grp. 2 or 3?
I should have bid more!
Cheap entry into the "black spot club" !
:mrgreen:
But, I ain't Rockefeller y'know,
and I got other irons in the fire,
so,
no regrets.
Thanks for weighing in and clarifying some things,
I appreciate it!
:clap:

@ Al
This may be a bit outta left field,
but what the hey,
might as well toss it out here as well as anywhere else.
I bought this pipe with the sole intent of flipping it,
I know Ashfords are hot,
and I believe it to be an earlier example,
no, it's not stamped as an Ashford,
nor does it carry the prestigious dots,
but it is one of the more scarce variants of a 2nd,
and it's in pretty damn good shape,
not to mention sporting some decent grain,

I was gonna list it on eBay "as found" with no clean-up whatsoever, mostly due to the fragile nature of the Hands logo which I don't want to erase, it's barely there as it is --- and as such, it probably wouldn't pull much anyways...
...so,
I'll offer it here to you if you're interested,
I can think of no better home it could go to!
If I was a really nice 'n cool guy I'd just gift it to you, but I'm on a budget and was planning on selling this along with a few others to build a PP balance for eBay mania LOL,
regardless,
PM me if you're interested,
I'm sure we could work out a deal.
If you don't need it, just let me know here,
as I was planning on listing the stuff fairly soon.
And, if this is out of line or a breach of etiquette, or just plain scummy of me,
please feel free to delete this post.
Thanks.
