1914 GBD - Anyone Here?

[ssjones]

Please tell me someone here snagged this 1914 GBD that was on Ebay this AM. The seller had it listed for a $100 BIN or Best offer. It appears the best offer was accepted. I would have loved to snagged this one.

It's a beauty.

That one and the BBB Own Make by the same seller were both on my watch list. Wasn't sleepy ol' me, I'm afraid. Both should clean up nicely either for fun or profit.

Nope, but someone got a great deal!

 

[ssjones]

Well, that clears the usual suspects. A good deal indeed. I'd love to see that one restored.

 

[pitchfork]

Well, that clears the usual suspects.

LOL
klause or xrundog would be additional suspects.

I concur that those two are the usual suspects and buy all the nice pipes.

I saw the GBD and BBB. This was not a good time for me to buy either. I hope one of our fellows snagged them.

 

[xrundog]

Not me. I didn't even see it. None of the key title words matched my usual searches. You'd think the word "silver" would have come after "Sterling". I'd have seen it then. I like a little flash on a pipe. ::

A century old pipe with outstanding grain and some serious silver work, not bad. As someone who buys pipes to smoke, I'm not sure I'd have bid. It's a handsome old piece, but I'd be concerned about restoring and preserving it, and maybe not smoking it so much.
