Found this pipe at a local antique store. I did not handle it, but snapped a picture through the case. Tag said Sterling Oneway. Name on bottom of pipe was worn from polishing. Any ideas on what it is?

It's a Medico silver overlay pipe. Does that price tag really say $195.00? I've seen them go from $25-$60.00 on ebay. Here, you can get in on this one: Medico Aztec Silver Overlay
There are others for auction that are in better shape. The one in your antique store looks to be in pretty good shape but I still wouldn't pay even half of that tagged price.

Ya, I thought it was a bit pricey... :) bet they think since it is silver it is worth more. I do like the design, but would not pay $200 for it.
Thanks for help with id.

As tuold mentioned, they're fairly common on ebay. There's a couple more listed:

These look pretty rough, but if you're patient, I'm sure you find a nice one for a fraction of the antique store's price.
