COM stamp was in pic 2. "Made in England" in a circle.

I paid the same 6 years ago for one with original stem and an acrylic smoking stem with a 3 pc. C. Pretty ok price if you ask me.

I think you might be looking at the auction Ebay recommends. Rodrigo confirmed with me there was no COM (also none listed in his description)

So not the "treasurepipes" listing? On every device I use I get the treasurepipes listing from your link which clearly shows the COM.

Nope, that is the one! That middle picture wasn't there on Sunday AM. I emailed treasurepipes curious if it had no COM and he replied, that indeed, there was no COM. He must have taken a second look at the pipe and added an additional picture, which does show a COM. But he did not update the detail.

That would explain it. Odd that he didn't tell you that he found one. He's usually pretty good about that.

If my pipes are holding their value they're pretty much the only thing I own that is.

I was watching this Benjamin Barling pipe. You don't see these very often. I had thought there would be some action but nada. What's your opinion?

It's a very niche market within a very niche market. Prices on these old Barling meers have never been particularly robust in the best of times, and this is hardly the best of times.
The silver work is nice, but it's not a pipe that many would smoke, and the market for antique shelf warmers is pretty small. Mid 19th century pipes don't seem to be very desirable. Maybe people think they'll catch plague.

This Blue Riband just went for crazy money, over $800.00!

COMOY'S BLUE RIBAND 3/4 BENT SADDLE BILLIARD SHAPE 215 | eBay

If you missed my Blue Riband last week, this one is a gem too! Shape 215 is a classic hanger, a 3/4 bent billiard with a bulbous bowl, bevel edge rim, and nice chubby round shank. This beauty is in superb condition showing only light use!

Nice bald spot on the front of the pipe and a fairly buffed down button. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the "winner" certainly wanted this pipe since he beat off all the competition.

Comoy's Blue Riband. But it's SHINY...! Isn't that worth a premium price...?

beat off is correct...
Anything over $300.00 for a Blue Riband is crazy, and it better be mint for $300.
