Excellent point. Looks like Jesse was right for once!

Well, maybe this is one of the Peterson made "Barling"s that were available for sale in the US a few years ago. I used to see them at Cup O Joe's. I don't recall the markings but I do remember that they all had a p-lip and were all just Peterson shapes. Maybe this is one of those. They used to sell for between $30 and $60.

A nice set, but I couldn't see dropping $430/pipe on them. Nothing spectacular about the grain.This one ended, did someone actually buy it?

In January 1975, gold was worth $160.87 per troy ounce. This is equivalent to $864.18 in 2022 dollars. Spot today is ~ $1966, so I suppose there is some satisfaction in that... Assuming the band has 15 grains of gold, each band is worth $46, just over 10% of the purchase price. Interesting worthless factoids...

In 1975, my weekly pay was probably $40 if I was lucky… And I had to bust my ass for that $40, mornings, evenings, Sunday. And people would not answer the door when you came around to collect a measly $2… Being a paperboy sucked.

In 1979 I earned $25 a week working for the Civilian Conservation Corps. We built and maintained trails outside of Bishop CA. I was crazy happy that summer ended. Since I had no bills and couldn’t spend money in the mountains I thought I was rich with $275.

In 1970-1971, I delivered a M-F daily, 86 houses right after school, they paid 40 cents a week and my "profit" was about $6.00 a week, lol. Made almost three months wages because of my Mom's idea of dropping off a Christmas card to all my customers -- some good Xmas tips!
Then I discovered teaching swimming lessons early in the morning and mowing yards as many as I could get and the paper route was in the rearview and I was rolling in dough for a kid just working summers!
I think I had 20 morning customers, about 80 evening, Monday - Saturday, and 110 Sunday deliveries... Daily paper was .10, Sunday .20.
This 8-Dot did quite well. The nomenclature looks like it was stamped yesterday.

The stem is badly oxidized. That's going to take some work to address, if it can be addressed. Otherwise, quite the steal.
Sasieni prices seem to be holding up well.

Very nice considering this is nearing 100 years old. Too big for a Rugby and too small for the Viscount. Early one dot stem still even has the patent number still stamped on it! Stem fits well. Very light wear to the stem.
