The Viscount Lascelles was a premium oversized pipe, a good deal, even if that is not a Four DOT stem. A great deal with the original stem (and a patent era to boot)Someone got a good deal. The shape looks the same as above, but a different city name?

Very nice and in fine condition. Beautiful straight grain to boot.Relatively good price for a ‘G’ Upshall from the mid 80’s…

It’s been smoked. The bowl pipe is in excellent condition. Fill as you would normally do, Light and then Tamp the Middle before lighting the edges again to build a cake easily and evenly. Note: We clean all our pipes before sale but only minimally.www.ebay.com
Since Ireland is part of the British Isles, we're letting the Peterson faithful in on this thread. And they're good people. That was an interesting auction combo!We don’t have an “interesting completed eBay Irish pipes”, do we?
It pains me slightly to put Petes in the British section (even though my only system is a pre-republic “made in England”).
But I digress, and it pains me greatly to have not landed this auction. I’ve been wanting a “Made in Eire” or “Irish Free State” Pete and was going to splurge on this to celebrate my 29th anniversary of being clean and sober, but missed out (splurging for me is a way lower limit than many here).
The System 31 is one I’ve got to try after missing out on a deal a while back…
Anyway, the idea of two stummels was very enticing!

It was, and if it hadn’t been shipping from AU, I’d probably have chased it higher. I’ve had an international hangup once in my brief pipe journey already…
Yep, I assumed the AU shipping/risk wasn't worth it.
Someone got a nice deal on it. I was thinking of bidding, but I have enough of them already.Lovely, lovely, lovely etc.

Did you think, “Even if I win, they will get their money and I will get my money back” due to global shipping? Or was it going to be a gamble if you got it? I’ve never seen the scribbling in the chamber like that before.I bid on this pipe, but didn't win it, which is fine with me, as I don't really need another pipe and I especially don't need one I was unlikely to smoke.
The pipe is an unsmoked Barling from the 1950's. The seller, a charity that benefits children, didn't mention that the pipe was unsmoked and I was damned if I wasn't going to get them some money for it.
So I did a reasonable bid for it, one that didn't guarantee my winning but high enough that the winner would have to spend some cash. All of the preceding bids were ridiculously low and I more than doubled what was being bid. The winner still got a good deal as the pipe is worth more than it realized. I just didn't want to get stuck with it. I wasn't surprised that the winner wasn't a dedicated pipe collector, but the type of bidder I refer to as a generalist. They always overpay.
The Barling Pipe Vintage Exel With Box & Bag Briar Root Hollingsworth VGC | eBay
Barling pipe. Hollingsworth - Birmingham. Briar root. Pipe and bag seems in Very good condition, little wear to the mouth end. With box and bag. Condition - box is a little faded. Q. Can you hold onto my order?.www.ebay.com
I did have that thought regarding Global Shipping, but that would also mean that the charity got screwed. If I had won it I could add it to the pile or resell it on eBay for more than I paid.
I don't think I've seen a nicer Barling's stem stamp, wow. The rest of the nomenclature as well.
I am pretty sure the seller gets refunded as well. The several I purchased that got stolen, the seller didn’t get the pipe back but just got to keep the money. I’m curious now if that’s not always the case.
$1500 was La La Land. $650 is low enough to sell. He might get a couple of hundred more. My guess is he got a couple of private offers and used those as a reference.
