Yes, it stung and not a little . Actually it physically hurt like the dickens.
I missed it entirely, because my query is not " smoking pipes vintage" .

I was watching that one but it didn't have a filterThis is easily the record for a 9BC shape (at least in my 11 years of watching that shape).
I suspect, as Deadman comments, this is the original stem. 9BC's seem to often not have a P on the stem.

and was about $825 over my budget ! 
Yeah that was crazy. I was thinking for a while if I should place a $300 bid which would easily make it the most expensive pipe I'd own. I decided against it but it clearly would not have mattered. The winner was not willing to be denied that pipe, and I suspect even the second highest bidder thought the same about his bid.This is easily the record for a 9BC shape (at least in my 11 years of watching that shape).

Is that the one that was a buy it now on a Saturday? Lasted all of a minute?I know, I know it all
The seller and I discussed both sales. He offered the last lot to an antique dealer, who was not one bit interested.
He did not so much mind the previous GBP150,00 sale . I did and contemplated bidding on the now sold one.
Managed to contain my emotions though, not wishing to smoke them not a clue what to do with them
Eat your heart out.
Hi Jesse,
Yep. He offered the buy it now GBP150,00 lot for GBP100,00 to an antique dealer !!
" I had offered them to an antique dealer for 100 and he wouldn't take them saying he would never be able to sell them " Seller did not so much mind the BGP150,00, he was pleased for the buyer. Generous gent.
It sucks, I need to amend my queries lol.

It’s a nice looking pipe; but if I had 1K to blow on a pipe I’d have bought something else…This is easily the record for a 9BC shape (at least in my 11 years of watching that shape).

That's where I am now on unsmoked antique pipes. If I see that it's unsmoked, I look away and I ignore the auction...only strategy that saves me.
Cool pipe with mounts by "Edward and John Barnard."
Who am I to argue?Cool pipe with mounts by "Edward and John Barnard."
Quite rare . The stem needs significant repair, but for $61,00 I take my chances :

What a pity about that poor, abused stem. I now cleared out the bowl from ancient tobacco (!),
reamed it and it appears that the chamber is in next to perfect condition; no burned brar whatsoever and hardly any cake.
Gave the exterior a quick initial cleaning and a brief polish on the wheel; glorious shine and wonderful
chocolate/plum coloured briar.

I now need to eat some chocolate & plums, sounds delicious!
Congratulations on a great looking pipe. Apart from the hole in the stem, looks in surprisingly good order. Bargain!
Was this the repaired pipe, that was shown on page 116? I think it did quite well here:

Ref: 8 Dot, with repair. It is the same one, Al. I was commissioned to repair it and sell it by a good friend and fellow forum member. He did just fine
