    Fraud Buyer Alert

    Exactly. I see pipes listed as "no low bidders" in the description, but I think you have no recourse in a BIN. If you canceled the sale, that would look bad on your ebay history if done with enough frequency.

    A Specimen Straight Grain is the highest. There is currently one active auction on eBay.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I don't see many Blue Ribands, and can't recall any unsmoked (in recent years). https://www.ebay.com/itm/167987643981

    Old estate

    We've seen here the odd pipe where someone has glued the stem in place, hope that's not the case here! Yes, pix would help.

    Old estate

    Put it in the freezer for several hours, then CAREFULLY, try twisting to remove the stem. The tenon of course will be near frozen, so don't snap it! An alcohol soaked cleaner inserted can also loosen build-up.

    Pesse Canoe

    Guess I got lucky. I bought a tin of Oriental Flake and Latakia Flake at Boswells in October. I have the same batch, but cracked it open and no mold.

    Pipe repair in Houston

    I've never heard of anyone in Houston. Lone Star is in Texas, I'm not sure if he makes stems. https://www.facebook.com/lonestarbriarworks Ryan Alden is also in Texas, but I'm not sure he makes stems either.

    Dunhill Straight System Pipes

    Should be a relatively easy restore, fascinating grab! Has the mechanism been altered?

    Dunhill Straight System Pipes

    I had to google Skirms Smoke Shop! It was located in Princeton, NJ (a wonderful NJ town).

    I love that kind of detail Mike! If not detailed here, eventually lost to time.

    Here is my 2017 KK Sea Rock. I guess it is similar, but I think your tan color accentuates the rustification.

    Dunhill Straight System Pipes

    I've never heard of or seen a Dunhill system pipe with a 2nd chamber like Peterson. Filter pipes, like George shared and 60's or so had the metal tube, that went into a tapered tenon.

    Member Rustypyles would know those dimensions.

    Mike Glukler told us that upper case K's began in 1969 and went to lower case k's in 1982. So, I suspect that is your date range. I have a 2k size Sea Rock 65, but the rustication is now where near that gnarly!
