Hi Al,Here is a puzzler, to me. Peterson 999's are popular but $176 for a Republic era pipe, that looks like it was dipped in vaseoline seems on the high end. I graduated in 1979 and was going to bid on it, but not at that price. I picked up a family era Sasieni Ashford instead, this morning.
PETERSON 1979 "DUBLIN CASTLE" BENT RHODESIAN SHAPE 999 ESTATE PIPE W/STERLING | eBay
The shank in quintessential Irish style is ultra chubby and a focal point with a half bend and is adorned with a brilliant Sterling Silver band hallmarked 1979. Stem is classic vulcanite P-Lip and while many for years frowned upon the design, it has seen a massive reoccurrence in popularity as...www.ebay.com

Very nice, grain not shocking.Here it is. And it went for ca. $1200.
I just saw that the seller is Todd from deadman’s pipes. I have dealt with him quite a few times in the past and have been amazed with his work and service. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from him again. I prepare to pay about $40 extra since his pipes, in my experience, have been restored properly. Just my opinion and 2¢. I still think it’s a win win for you Al.Here is a puzzler, to me.

Todd is a friendly guy who answers all your questions. His pipes are always well refurbished but the best is the style he advertises them so you can fall in love with each pipe he sells.I just saw that the seller is Todd from deadman’s pipes.

Cannot say that I like it, what a beast.$3726.99 plus shipping. Bloody Mary Mix not included.
Been watching this one for more than week. I was confident that it was going to fetch more than the $302 which was still the top bid this morning--even if, let's face, magnum or not, and its decent, unrestored condition notwithstanding, a graceful, swan-necked beauty this pipe is not.

RARE Charatan's Make Original, M Elliott Carved Figural COA, Unsmoked, Ephraim | eBay
Pipe is titled Ephraim and numbered 0115.www.ebay.com
I'd like to hear what Ken Barnes says about it. I never heard that Charatan let external artisans carve pipes for their label. This pipe might be a filigree piece of wooden artwork but (especially without the Logo) you can consider it kitschy too. Was it Col. Barnes who signed it?This is a rare pipe, I have never seen another like it.
