Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

Anyone bid on these beauties?

BEWLAY (LOEWE&Co.) 1909 UNSMOKED CASED COMPANION ESTATE PIPE SET W/STERLING | eBay

This set appears to be made by the latter Loewe & Co to my eye as the shapes are quintessentially Loewe, stout and muscular throughout and the best part is the Billiard remains unsmoked after 113 years and the Bulldog appears to have only seen one bowl so these puppies are mint!

Not me, but triple love for sure.

Quite something ?

DUNHILL LONDON "SPECIMEN" ODA 841 LOVAT PIPE RARE 1953 | eBay

Well known pipe author Richard “Rick” Carleton Hacker wrote about this pipe (and others) in his book “Rare Smoke” and talks about these special ODA’s. This is a rare and unique opportunity to own a piece of history so do not miss your chance.

I was watching this one and considering making an offer, but I'm really out of the game. Even with the terrible images, it looked promising, and for what the buyer stole it for, it would have to be a total loss not to be a good deal.
Appearances can be deceiving. I've had a few vintage pipes that looked great and well cared for that turned out to be total losses. Mostly too dried out to be used.

Hopefully it’s as nice as the pictures.

It’s slowly working it’s way to me.

The description is as good as the photos.



What’s fantastic to me is I own a GBD that has “DASH” in the case

That's really beautiful. I know you'll enjoy it.

Probably Harry Dash, cigar importer and tobacconist of Castle square in Brighton.

Here's a PIpestud auction miss Saturday. Good 9438's do pretty well, this one is advertised as un-smoked, but not great photos to justify that claim. I bet it ends up on a Deadmans Pipes auction a few months from now.

I'd love to see it when it's cleaned up. Would also love to see the hallmarks and 1896 seems a bit early for a wind cap that was patented in 1906.

I agree. That’s why I copied the description and commented it’s as good as the photos.

At least the price was favorable, so if it’s balsa and tin I’m not out a kings ransom

 

[greeneyes]

Alright then. Holiday gift to myself.

Posting a return for this pipe. Reason? I thought I'd post the photos of the chamber in case it comes up for auction again. Caveat emptor...

Pipe knife. Or maybe any knife. Some people should not be allowed near one.

Yikes! Midget beavers?

Not sure what's going on---perhaps a holiday desperation to clear out old pipes in order to pay off the credit card---but I've had three or four damaged pipes passed off as good pipes on eBay within the past week or so. Much, much higher than average.

This is a very sad disappointment and I feel for you. I did not bid because I suspected serious damage to the inner rim.
I detected it on the picture; pocket knife carnage for sure. Did you forward the return through Ebay, or did you contact the seller ?
The briar looks so dry it could possibly crumble in your hands when further cleaning it.
Happened to me once with a ( not so ) fine GBD churchwarden. The exteroir was immaculate, but when I started reaming the bowl went to smithereens.

This Barling 303 LF did very well at auction:

BARLING'S MAKE 303 FOSSIL LF PRE-TRANSITION CANADIAN PIPE | eBay

MARKED: BARLING'S MAKE 303 FOSSIL LF. 1 PIPE OR ENTIRE COLLECTIONS. MAKE SURE TO SUPER SIZE THE PHOTOS FOR A BETTER VIEW. LENGTH: 6 3/4". WEIGHT : 1.5 oz.

www.ebay.com

Evidently, one of the bidders retracted its bid, so who knows what the total might have reached, but pretty good and the pipe looks to be in excellent condition.

Wonderful pipe in fine condition, amazing blast. I watched this one, but am not willing to pay $550,00 + taxes.
I believe my one Family Era Quaint Canadian is a Long Flat one. I like these pipes with their extended shanks
( like Dunhills ES ) a lot. Very elegant. Cooler smoke ? Depends on the machinist, but could very well be.
I hope a forum member won it .

Too bad the retracted bid never shows

PETERSON RARE 1898 ROSE GOLD BANDED PATENT CASED MAGNUM ESTATE PIPE W/AMBER | eBay

I'm a huge Peterson fan, but, as to that 1916, hells bells, bought a nearly unsmoked 1900 Salmon and Gluckstein in the same shape with similar silver band, (albeit lighter stain), from an online dealer about 12 years ago for around $50. I should add, that mine had a tapered bone stem.
