Being from Michigan, I have been eyeing Von Ercks for quite some time. I plucked these 2 gems from ebay for $75 smackers each. What I consider quite a bargain considering what Von Ercks go for new. The poker was his 10th pipe made in 99 and the other was his 148th pipe made in 89. Both A grades and in beautiful shape. Free FedEx shipping arrived today. Can't ask for much more.
