Ben Wade Free-Hand Denmark Thoughts

[cosgringo]

So I know it's a disturbing history on Ben Wade though I believe there was a time when they were quite worth having.

Not going to upload all the pics but I will put one beside the branding below that one. Any thoughts if you were interested in this pipe a ballpark value?

Any thoughts on this make? It's not perfect condition but seems to quite restorable to a happier time.

Not in my possession. Photo is a bit dark but if you enlarge or go blind staring at it- I think it reads as follows:
Ben Wade
FREE-HAND
HAND MADE
DENMARK

Looks from a previous era.

Submitted for your approval...

Ive never paid more than $80 for a Ben Wade.

I presume that's good? Perhaps? LOL. My bit of learned ma taught me says those were good days.

Holm did carve some of them, but he had other carvers working for him in his workshop such as Poul Winslow. So to answer your question, very good.?

I'm thinking an offer of $63. Owner wants 75 which is too high since it needs resoration.
