Sometimes you get lucky.

Anyone snag this bad boy?

Apparently, my ebay search terms suck.

Tossed a last minute bid for a terracotta Pub Pipe at $151. Skyrocketed to about $235 rather quickly.

This is a great shape, I've not seen this Charatan before. The weight, 100+ grams, which saved me $564!

This 1883 Barling did exceptionally well:


When I bought mine:

which also has more elaborate sterling work and a rare black amber stem, I paid about half this amount. Judging from a number of recent eBay auctions, interest in 19th century pipes has grown, as have the prices they now get. Used to be the kiss of death not all that long ago.

I thought if this Dunhill ODA stayed less than $1,000, I'd take a shot. Not even close. I think this seller is Paige Simms? (formally from the Baltimore area)

I was hoping that maybe I found a Barlings Make I could afford because of the top repair, but it still went for more than I wanted to bid.

I suppose the seller deserves some credit for not trying to the disguise radical major surgery he has performed on pipes that I presume seemed beyond saving. But I must say when I first began to stumble on these ebay listings my heart sank and I thought--to put the matter politely--WTF?

Right.
At least the seller hasn't adorned the pipe with the copper ring, read tube jammed, atop the bowl, that we saw some time ago.
