I just won this from one of modernchicago's auctions.
I think it looks like a great buy at $13.50 shipped

At 13.50, you cant go wrong. I have heard good thing about Peretti pipes and tobaccos. From the photos, it looks like there may be a couple of tiny flaws in the briar, and the stem might need some work, but that would not discourage me from smoking it at all. Very nice find for a great price!

Looks like a winner to me! Does anyone know who made those Peretti pipes? A classic look for sure!

Wow, haven't seen a Peretti in ages. Once you clean that up it's gonna make a nice looking pipe. http://www.ljperetti.com/pipes/pipes_peretti-pipes.html

Great score there! I have a number of Perettis and they all puff well.
Old man Peretti carved pipes a few decades ago, and some of the Perettis were carved by the likes of Bill Taylor (of Ashton, now deceased).

Will do ::
I looked at the site earlier rigmedic1. Their pipes are going for considerably more. This one looks like a good light clencher. I still can't tell what material the stem is made from though, I've never seen that color before.

Nice one! It will clean up nicely! Stem color is "oxidized vulcanite"

Break out the micro mesh and that stem will shine like new, or just smoke the heck out of it!
