No Dunhill ?
No, Dunhill calabashes were to my knowledge always silver mounted. And the stem alignment is very poor. That’s most likely a Pioneer Calabash that someone stuck stem with a white dot on. The bottom of the cup is also cut very poorly and doesn’t transition into the gourd very well. A DH calabash would have had the cup side much more rounded.

Like this.

Now that I googled pictures of a Pioneer calabash, hmm .....

That’s a lot of money for a pipe with a destroyed stem…

I think Linwood was disappointed in this one. I'll hang onto mine, that's about $20 over the selling price. (Originally sold for $660 then got stiffed by the buyer)

Thought that was him selling it. He had made the comment on Irwin's blog post about the pipes that he wished it was proportionately bigger. So, he apparently bought it anyway and quickly regretted that decision.

Damn, was texting with my daughter about her new puppy and missed the B37 I was planning to get by one minute, lol. Honestly, the only pipe that had caught my eye on eBay for awhile - hope someone here landed it.

I was watching these two tonight.

$719 for an 8-Dot


$186 for this City Deluxe 9242. Too bad it has the awful "Tuskan Lip", by my experience, unsmokeable.
