Wow, I have gotten particular. Nothing there catching my eye.
Guys, go for it. They're all yours
Thankfully I like classical. I consider Danish designs "daring" ?
So no temptations there for me.

I like Danish pipes but those are too out there for me.
I find that almost funny coming from someone with a collection of skulls and that insane "Alien" contraption (difficult to find an apt description) ?
Momento mori is a widely popular collection. The xenomorph came about while marathoning the Alien movies and it occurred to me that the first one was released in 1979 and I didn't have a dedicated Mixture 79 pipe.
I am happy to have pedestrian tastes in pipes. It’s much cheaper.
As before, there's a lot of creativity and highly evolved shaping skill on show, but too many of these pipes look like reflections in a fun house mirror. The Von Erck has all the signs of a do over, originally started out as a fluted spiral pipe, and a somewhat shallow blast added afterward over the bowl, possibly due to a flaw showing up in the spiral fluting of the bowl. Doesn't really work for me.
Once again, my bank account is safe.

It's like browsing a museum of the most beautiful pipe art... AND WE CAN BUY THESE? AWESOME!!!
Yes, you absolutely can! In some cases, above the original retail price! With not one single penny going back to the original artisans! Some of whom are still working and may want your commission!
Sorry. 20 years of making furniture and then yelling at antiques roadshow... Kinda swept over me there.
Blew my load on a $96 Pete, you guys have at it. I have a family to feed still?
Was that a Tyrone? I'm planning to get one next sale. Let us know if you have any feedback.
Most of these pipes are not bought for common consumption . if one chooses to collect pipes purely on their collectibility, and or some pipe lineage , this and the last couple of Taurus auctions are orgasmic for the hard to find pipes (expensive) .
There was a thread 3 years ago about aspirational pipes for buying … many hard to find if ever , when they come up , you got to pounce … some of the pipe makers you only see once a few years if ever
