Looks like old Dunhills and old Sasieni's are the only ones holding value these days.This one was over my budget, but the price seems right for 1929 Dunhill of that shape:
VINTAGE ESTATE SMOKING PIPE DUNHILL ''INNER TUBE'' LO9 | eBay
Model: LO9. The bowl manufactured from briar I think, carved wooden mouthpiece, Dunhill white spot. Stamped DUNHILL, LONDON, "INNER TUBE" with patent number.www.ebay.com
That one is legitimate alright, but as has been mentioned, it has been reamed to an extreme.I'm trying to get sharper about older Dunhills. Should be easy, as I have so much to learn.
This auction recently ended (see below). I used pipedia and matched up the serial number to the pipe. Looks legit to me. Am I right? 1929? What about the stem? Does it look original? Any issues that you see that I might be missing?

A beautiful piece, no doubt, although for me personally, the lack of nomenclature is a deal-breaker. Thank goodness, as I am rather fond of my wife!

I saw this one the other day, and put it on my watchlist. Figured for a "B" grade Upshall it would go for a pretty good price. Wasn't following it closely - if I had been I probably would have thrown a bid in on it. Unless there's something I missed, that's an awfully good price.
