I did just have a quick look to see if I could see any dodgy repairs haha, but it looks reasonable to me!The seller is 'The Mitre' ... surprised it seems to have a Peterson stem.

Putting that aside, someone got a nice pipe. I was too slow this time. Looks more like 1906? Hallmark’s tooThe seller is 'The Mitre' ... surprised it seems to have a Peterson stem.
@runscott did you buy it? If so, I call shotgun on your 777. You have surpassed your allocated Pete haul this month.
Haha - no, I never even saw it. I have not acquired any Petes this month, and only two this year.
Apologies in advance, but I saw this last night and couldn't resist.
You can't have the 777, but you can have a breakfast bun.
Barling Motor domed pipes are always of interest, and I have been following this one. Up until this morning there had been only one bid on it and as expected the bidders came out on the last day. The pipe did very well, considering condition, and I was not surprised to find that the winner was a type of collector I have defined and described in the past as a "generalist", someone who buys all manner of antique items with no concern about price.
The most interesting part of this auction is the year date for the pipe, 1933, which is the first time I've seen one of these from a period later than the 1920's.

A pretty rough One Dot did better than I would have guessed.
I get that these are rare, but this is one ugly pipe.
PRE WW2 SASIENI ONE DOT #71 Bent Bulldog London Made PATENT FISH LOGO PIPE | eBay
This makes the pipe a 1920, or pre-war version. The stem, shank, bowl are all in really good condition given the age of the pipe.

DUNHILL RARE 1940's BRUYERE PATENT ERA CAVALIER ESTATE PIPE | eBay
I believe the iconic Cavalier pipe was first carved by one of the major English firms around the turn of the century, though its roots go much farther back being loosely based on Tyrolean style pipes from hundreds of years ago!

Interesting that the Cavalier lacks both patent and date numbers.A pretty rough One Dot did better than I would have guessed.

I don't know all the idiosyncrasies of Dunhill stamps, but seems like I've seen bamboo stems that were missing some of the stamps, so maybe these run into that also.
Todd sold a 1950 patent Cavalier that has similar construction (definitely different from '60s versions) for double that amount, so I guess that's what a stamped patent and date number are worth.
Agreed. I’ve always assumed it’s a function of limited real estate to place stampings.
Oh, I don't know though, looks very neat and tidy, appealingly functional. Does the knurled section at the bottom indicate that it unscrews to drain? Shame the seller didn't show that, if so.I get that these are rare, but this is one ugly pipe.

Since I never noticed those auctions, I was relieved that they sold for $500 more than I would have bid. Also, Mark Irwin's facsimile version of the 1896 catalog is amazing and affordable. Can't wait to see his 1906.Forgot to post these, lovely catalogues:

Digging around for something else, found this November auction for a 1908 Peterson Patent. I'm surprised it went so low, given that it's Mark Twainish and the seller's measurements put it at a decent size. Anyone here get it?
