I saw this on eBay. Must be Extremely rare for $19G's
Thank you. It’s an amazing artistic process, though apparently not a hot combo on the pipe market....and just to add my $0.02 of knowledge to the pile, the surface is first layered in gold foil, usually 22k or 24k, And gold foil is a pain in the ass to apply by hand. And then the resins are added in thin layers on top of that, so that when the light hits it, you are seeing the reflections of the gold shining through the surface of the resins, making it glow, almost supernaturally. It is 200x's more impressive to see in person than a picture.
Yeh... I imagine it is a niche market. Sort of like my sterling silver pipe tampers. I think people like to look at them, but paying $100 for a tamper is generally out of the question for most pipesmokers.Thank you.

This is off topic, so apologies, but I inherited a couple of Tiffany tampers done in sterling. If I had some pocket money I wouldn’t bat an eye.Yeh... I imagine it is a niche market.

Now I saw that one, and thought well I won't be getting that Pipe! I have it on my watch list just to see what it does.Yeah, I was just going to mention this one. You'd think the folks at dunhill would want it if it was that rare or personally owned.
If you prefer a new one for the same price, this one comes with a taper and a book in a carefully designed box. I's presented like a magic show. (s. the video).I saw this on eBay. Must be Extremely rare for $19G's
