I’m sending this out for repair and refurbishment, but I’m extremely excited about putting my hands on one.

Very nice Tim. Did you buy it from a man with a deer stalker hat?
if you mean started a fire at the mans house to cover his theft then... no!!! That's not what happened.
I watched that one from the sidelines. Nice score!
I love the silver-work around the gourd- SWEET!
I've been wanting an old gourd calabash for a while. Oddly enough I just purchased one from ebay about an hour ago........ It's from 1910. I'm excited for its arrival.

Just beautiful. Can't wait to see it when you get it back
Wow nice, can’t wait to see it refurbed!
That’s a beauty enjoy!

Okay, I think I hate you now, lol. Seriously, what a fantastic score you lucky dog. How do you do it? Auction implants that stream search results directly into your cerebral cortex? Because … I’d consider that procedure if it nets these results.
Well... I now remember what extreme jealousy feels like. ?
Seriously though, what a beautiful pipe. You are quite fortunate to aquire such a treasure. I will be looking forward to seeing the finished restoration.

You've got to take that one to a pipe show and swim in the envy. Don't let it out of your sight. What a great pipe, a real treasure.
Congrats! I bet she will look amazing, once she returns from the spa!!
One hell of a score there Tim! Look forward to seeing it cleaned up... 
A gorgeous find! I was watching the action on that one - definitely not something you see everyday!
Too bad they didn't date the repair bands as it would be neat to know when it was fixed.
That's a very cool find and the sliverwork is top notch! There seems to be a period, roughly 1908 thru 1912, mas o menos, where a lot of calabashes were made, given that the preponderant number of them that turn up are from this period.
