A few of us were watching this one. Time got away from me and I forgot to bid, so I lost it by only about $800....
(kidding, I was only watching)
I see 8-Dot Ashfords or Patent era Four Dots routinely listed for $600-$700 but I don't know if any have actually sold (several have been listed over and over again).
This one was advertised as a pre-WWII Patent Era pipe. The bowl looks like that but the longish stem looks more like an Ashford of a more recent vintage.
The 2nd place guy lost by $25, probably by placing his bid too early (5 minutes to go). Or, did he really lose?
