Was looking at two used pipes on an estate site that I'd had my eye on. Waited, waited, waited... finally had a bit of money, intended on reserving them-- oops, they're now sold.
Does anybody know where I can locate one of those Tekin, Kudret or Sevket floral designs, preferably used? They have almost Celtic knot-like bands, twisting vines around circular panels with flowers, and either a straight top with a hollowed-out band behind and latticed knotwork, or a flared calabash-like top with latticed knotwork? Most of the ones being carved now aren't as nice as onces I was seeing 5+ years ago.
Or, alternately, does anybody know any sites other than smokingpipes.com and Pipeworks & Wilke that have some estate meers for sale?
Will be able to purchase soon, if someone gets off their duff and buys the item (not pipe-related, sorry) I'm selling on eBay. Gotta sell some stuff if I'm going to buy more stuff.
