Help needed: worth of a Jeantet pipe

janosh · Mar 9, 2019

Hi fellow pipe smokers!

Can you please help me determine the worth of this pipe? I bought it few weeks ago in a garage sale but have no idea about the real price. There are no signs, model or reference number on the pipe. It looks unsmoked but has toothmarks on the stem (maybe it was used in a theatre?).

Thanks so much for the help!

Leather was a way of hiding unsatisfactory grain in the '70s and '80s much like rustication. Modern iterations of Jeantet pipes without leather can be had for under $70.

I've never cared for leather wrapped pipes, but for a good price I think you got a decent pipe. With the stinger/condenser thingy on there it might have some age on it.

Moving this out of the classifieds section.
Leather wrapped pipes don't have much appeal to a modern pipe smoker. It's worth perhaps $25 on Ebay.

I actually think it's pretty cool. I like Longchamps too.

Yeah, "pigskin" pipes had a wide vogue, 50s-70s, and usually hid poor grain and/or fills. But it could be a fine smoker. Not likely to be really valuable. I'd start it at $25 and see where it goes.

Janosh, did you buy this with an intent to resell? If you didn't it may be a fine pipe. I've heard only good things about French pipes.

Pipe looks great, I’d keep it and smoke it. Jeantet pipes have always been good to me.
