Exactly... well, you actually got a deal, I think. I believe I've seen these for around $100 to $120.
Bassbug - Years ago the wife tried that same ultimatum with me; saying it was "Her, or the Pipe"... Gee, and, I thought I was going to miss that girl - Sherm Natman
I will never understand that or the whole "SWMBO" thing. "No way" was what made exes of several old girlfriends.
Never heard this phrase before, but I just googled it. Here I was thinking that decisions should be equal and balanced.
As for the expensive pipe and Zippo kit, maybe he got it as a gift and was told it was worth more than it was?
I found another one! :rofl: This one costs a little less.... probably because it's rusticated. https://www.amazon.com/Zippo-Peterson-Pipe-Gift-Set/dp/B00187TVEU
This one is interesting because it's unsmoked and is vintage but the price...

Well in that case, the pipe is possibly made sometime between 1922 and 1937, and is supposedly unsmoked. A serious collector MIGHT be interested enough to pay that price if they really wanted that pipe. I personally don't think I would... maybe with another shape, who knows? Regardless, I'd have to see photos of the inside of the chamber, the inside of the mortise, a better look at that stem, etc. And I'd have to do some research, because from the photos that ARE provided it appears there may be a bowl coating if it's unsmoked, and I personally don't know whether or not Peterson was using bowl coatings in the 20's and 30's.
All good points Anthony. Now that you mentioned it, it's odd that there are no pictures of the bowl or mortise. For the amount they're asking, you would think they would have nailed the marketing.
The time period and being unsmoked, supposedly, are appealing but there are so, so many Peterson estate pipes for sale every day. They have to be one of the most common/popular estate pipes on ebay. You would have to be fixated on collecting to pay that price imo.
