    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Yes but I have modest expectations about its suitability as a smoking pipe given the crack and "mend" to the amber. I got it more for historical interest. Had it been in perfect condition I've no doubt it would have sold for a much higher price.

    Can anyone help verify this old Dunhill for sale?

    Smoked to within an inch of the bottom of the pipe, really.

    Can anyone help verify this old Dunhill for sale?

    Just my opinion---I'd pass. Nothing "collectible" here. Very, very beat up. If you're after a Dunhill you can still do much much better, even at the $150 the seller was asking.

    Yes, the set that got away for $150 stung a little. I was minutes late and lost the opportunity.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Watched this one from the beginning. Would've loved to bid on it but I simply can't justify the price, having a young family and saving for things like my son's education. Someday perhaps. I hope it brings the winner many decades of joy. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256000509826

    You have OxyClean in Brazil. It's just a different brand. There are several of them at Carrefour.

    A Letter from Customs

    Right. That letter doesn't read like a Customs letter. It's a USPS regulation letter.

    But did it contain cigarettes or smokeless tobacco?
