    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    who was the restorer ,one to avoid!! why buff out the remains of the logo? surely its not too hard to work round the logo with a bit of sympathy ,that's what i do if cleaning up a pipe with a weak logo,even if it leaves a bit of oxidisation.

    Private Selection Peterson Spigots & The 999 Dingle Stem Puzzle

    Worth Saving or No?

    nothing wrong with used pipes,I cant buy any pre62 Barlings Make or pre republic Petes at my local tobacconist's brand new .But with a bit of searching I could find them as estate pipes:)

    What can you tell me about this pipe?

    I would say 1950 onwards as it is block type comoy's not in script. As OzPiper said is there a COM mark you can let us see

    (1974) Peterson’s 01S Silver Spigot - Detailed Restoration (Long Read 7 Parts And Over 100 Photos)

    I notice there are no photos of the system sump/well before cleaning,were they to bad for public consumption?:) Going on the amount of cake/lava I assume the pipe hadnt had much cleaning in its previous life congratulations on a great job

    How can a pipe sell for $5,610?

    and that is it,it is your opinion and only your's that matters.your money your enjoyment I personally dont like the pipe,so wouldnt buy it but others might. I have no problem with that I wouldnt spend that kind of money any a pipe,but have spent 3 times that on a 50 year old motorbike

    Loft find Barlings cased pair

    I think you may well be correct,I was in touch with him quite a while back and he had been having some health issues.He has not had anything for sale on ebay for a very long time now A pity as he was the only restorer in the UK that I know apart from estatepipeshop.co.uk in Wales
